Oct 6, 2009 Draft at Mellow Mushroom Huntsville AL. Black with a roasty, toasty nose. Taste comes off very roasty, tart, and no sweetness at all. A bit thin on the palate. Didn’t get any oak or bourbon flavor from this one.

Oct 4, 2009 On tap at Old Glory in Georgetown. Pours a deep ruby with a one-finger tan cap that leaves some okay lacing. Aroma is semi-sweet chocolate, some roast, hints of vanilla. Sort of a weak nose like a dry stout. Taste is chocolate malt, semi-sweet chocolate, a bit of vanilla. No oak character.... A bit thin on the palate. This was fairly solid but nothing to rave about.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottle thanks to Ksurkin. Pours a jet black with a tan head. Nose is a bit funky of some bread toast, a bit of dark fruit and more funk. Taste is mostly a touch of vanilla, some fruit, a touch of hops and all around notsogoodness. Watered down and less than good. Its a beer though and thats what counts.

Sep 6, 2009 First off, this is not rich like it says in the description. It’s actually really really thin, and you can tell from the pour. Second there is barely any aroma... takes a little work to notice some vanilla aroma, and maybe some roasted malt. Not a big fan of this

Sep 1, 2009 Bottle shared by Hellybilly at Hellbilly’s after Sun-Up’s 8th anniversary party. Good sweet vanilla & bourbon aroma. Murky brown body with tan head. Decent vanilla, bourbon flavor somewhat alcoholic. The aroma was better than the flavor of this beer.

Aug 25, 2009 Tap at the pub in Dulles with V. Cool to see a non-imperial oak barrel stout. Pretty smooth, not a ton of oak barrel character in there, and I drank a whole 16 ozer so it’s certainly quaffable.

Aug 23, 2009 On tap at the Sharp Edge in Canonsburg, PA
Pours a black with a frothy brown head but lace is minimal.
Smells of roasted coffee malt and a light oak scent.
Tastes same, the oak character is pretty minimal, but still tasty.
Medium bodied and carbonated.
Would have this again, a very nice stout though slightly undistinguished.

Aug 16, 2009 A right tasty stout as far as these things go. Subtle vanilla flavors and an almost silky mouthfeel contribute to its drinkability.
