Jan 5, 2005 Another beauty find on my US tasting adventure. Smells of vanilla and roasted malts. Poured black with virtually no head. THe low carbonation and medium-thick body give it a very creamy mouthfeel. Balanced well towards the sweet side of the flavor spectrum with hints of coffee and chocolate. The vanilla oak character dominates the finish.

Dec 23, 2004 This one is aged in proper oak barrels, rather than being impregnated with oak chips as in the normal version. And the influence of the oak is quite apparent in the aroma - vanilla with vinous notes and a good hit of sweet coffee. More vanilla, toffee and some chocolate, in the flavour. A bit reminiscent of fudge. Finishes relatively sweet. Definitely a couple of notches up from the regular version. On tap at the Dominion brewery.

Dec 6, 2004 On tap. Dark with a creamy tan head. This is a sweet stout with very strong tones of chocolate. Perhaps I was not in a good mood, but this one did not strike me as a tasty stout, and I have tried many. Disappointing.

Sep 8, 2004 You can smell the bourbon notes. The brww is very dark and has a nice tan head. Flavor is chocolate and vanilla. Very nice, but i prefer my stouts a little stronger.

Aug 19, 2004 Had this at the Old Dominion Beer Fest. Dark brown with a creamy tan head. Chocolate, bourbon, vanilla. My first thought was that I was drinking chocolate ice cream. Excellent.
