Wonderful porter aroma with a blend of coffee and bourbon in the aroma. Flavor is absolutely heavenly. Wonderful bourbon wood tones which intertwine with the coffee. Nice warming on the palllate with bourbon aftertaste. Very good BA

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle courtesy of BückDich. Dark brown pour that goes red through the light. Smell is very interesting. Has a large bit of coffee grind with a solid amount of meaty smoke. Spiced with black pepper. Taste is coffee for sure but has a peppery smoke taste. Very good.

Dec 19, 2009 Pours Dark Black, off white latte colored head. Wonderful smell of coffee, chocolate, and caramel. Big taste - whiskey flavors pervade, along with malts, chocolate and coffee. Outstanding brew - glad to have grabbed some. Will try my next with dessert after Christmas dinner.

Dec 15, 2009 22 oz wax dipped bottle of the 2009 release. Pours a very dark brown almost black with a small tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark roasted malt, wood and bourbon. Taste is sweet chocolate malt with some roasted malt bitterness, the flavors of the bourbon barrels come through strong in the end. Full body with a mild carbonation and a thick velvety mouth feel. This is a really nice Imp Porter, the alcohol is very well hidden and the coffee and bourbon barrel flavors really come out without being overpowering. Very nice.

Dec 13, 2009 Bomber from kegbear. XX vintage. Pours almost black with one finger tan head. Aroma is bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, caramel, roasted malts and light coffee. Flavor is smooth and complex with chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, wood, light coffee, caramel and light smoke. Can definitely taste the bourbon is not harsh at all. Really smooth for a BA porter. Mouthfeel was thick and creamy and really coated the glass. This was really good and I wish I had another bottle. I had this right before Noreaster and Black Butte blew it out of the water.

Dec 13, 2009 Pours dark opaque brown with with a light brown lasting head. There’s quit a bit of character here, while still keeping itself pretty approachable. the chocolate, coffee, and bourbon barrel are all there and all share the stage well. Medium but rich body with a bit of pleasant sweetness in the finish. After having all of these nice things to say, I’d still rather have the Williamsburg porter.

Dec 1, 2009 (bottle - 22 oz) Dark black pour with a thin tan head. Aroma is incredibly roasted with a lot of coffee flavor and a strong bourbon note underneath the roast and chocolate. Flavor is very roasted with a ton of coffee and chocolate flavors. The bourbon comes through near the end and adds a nice sweetness to it. Incredibly deep and rich. I would say borders on an imperial stout. Really good.

Nov 30, 2009 This beer is amazing and complex! It has huge essence of beer. In fact, it’s like a super porter. It is the embodiment of porter. Every sip, every sniff; porter. This beer defines the style, in regards to grains and hop selection. Everthing about it is just right. Except that I drank it already...
