May 3, 2009 Bottle from Raleigh WBF. Clear amber pour and not much head. Big oaky nose. Lotes of vanilla and sweet as hell. Syrupy. Too much for me. I don’t dig this.

Apr 8, 2009 5 year old keg on draft at Capones. Man was this good. So smooth and rich. Nice and sweet with hints of bourbon and oak. Aroma and taste of vanilla, oak and cream. Some milk chocolate rounds this out. Really good.

Apr 5, 2009 5-year-old on tap at Capone’s a week ago. Aroma of vanilla, oak, sweet fruits, particularly boysenberry, mildly bourbony. Flavor more vanilla and oak with very rich, toffee and cake malt. Coffee in the finish. Just a touch cloying with some overbearing sugariness, but otherwise very enjoyable.

Apr 2, 2009 5 year old keg on draft at Capones. Poured a reddish brown flat body with no head what so ever, oh well it is aged five years. Aroma was nice with notes of vanilla, oak, toffee, butterscotch, chocolate, coconut and slight rum. Flavor is just as complex with the oak really coming through on the aftertaste. This was highly enjoyable and one of the better beers on a day of some really good beers.

Feb 27, 2009 Draught at the Brickskeller. Dark amber-brown with hardly any head. A bit murky. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, and oak, with some dried fruit and carmel malts. The flavor has similar oak, caramel, alcohol, and dried fruit. The body seems a bit thinned out by the aging. Boozy and interesting in its mix of flavors, but not really that great in the product.
