Bottle shared by puddintane: Pours a deep mahogany with no head. Aroma, boozy fruits, sherry, plumbs, caramel. Flavor, sherry, caramel, dark fruits, some brown sugar. The oxidation wasn’t too bad, but it’s past it’s prime I think.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle, at WeeHeavySD’s Halloween tasting, with thanks to WeeHeavySD. Pours a clear, dark brown with an off-whte ring. Aroma of malt, dark fruits, spices, and hints of bourbon and wood. Rich taste of bourbon, malt, wood, dark fruits, sugar, and maple. Lingering sharp bourbon-malt flavors. Very tasty.

Nov 2, 2008 Nip Via trade with tever, thanks so much dude. Shared at my Halloween tasting 2009. Pours brown with a white head. Nose is sweet with tons of bourbon. Taste is also sweet with vanilla and bourbon. A sipper for the size but easy drinking as well.

Oct 27, 2008 Interesting bottle, batch 4 thanks to bu11zeye. One side says 11.1% ABV, but the other side says 10.37%...go figure... Pours with no head or lacing and a deep, clear brown body. Aroma of maple, vanilla, bourbon, and degraded hops. Taste is brown sugar, molassas, banilla bourbon, and some raisins. Syrupy mouthfeel and quite warming.

Sep 27, 2008 Nip bottle from Irishboy - Thanks! Rich amber body, no head. Next to no carbonation. Nose is vanilla, caramel, alcohol, bourbon, dark figgy fruitiness - very very rich. Flavor is rich caramel, a bunch of bourbon, apples & figs, tobacco, alcohol. Very nice but I wish there was a bit more carbonation to lighten up the mouthfeel.
