Jul 1, 2008 22 oz bottle consumed on 5/25/08. Pours brown black with a beige ring of a head. A blend of complex malt aromas: raisins, brown sugar, yeast, bourbon, dark fruits, roasted malts, and doughy malts. Malty flavors that are really well balanced with the barrel. Roasted, charred, and dark fruit malts. Brown sugar and vanilla with dry charred malts in the finish. The notes are subtle, really well balanced, and tasty.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle (22oz) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, tupalev & jerc -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a very deep ruby with a spare diminishing foamy off-white head. Aroma of oak, caramel malt, fruit, bourbon, brown sugar, maple syrup and more -- very nice! Flavour: Wow, I love it! Sweet and oaky along with caramel malt, chocolate, brown sugar, dark fruit, light hops and more -- it’s complex and hard to pin down, lots going on here. There’s alcohol there but it doesn’t deter form the enjoyment of the beer. This is a perfectly done oak-aged beer, the balance is just right in my opinion. I friggin’ love it!

Jun 25, 2008 Updated: Jun 26, 2008Bottled at Papsoes Blind tasting 19th. June 2008 no 5: Dark almost burgundy coloured. Unclear. Light brown head. Plums, chocolate, light barrel notes, vanilla, alcohol and some "old" notes in the aroma. Flavour is sweet and full of overripe fruits. Plums and prunes comes to mind. Alcohol, vanilla and alcohol notable. Very well balanced beer. Medium to full bodied. Alcohol and vanilla in the end, and very evident barrel notes. Nice.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle shared with Greg Clow, Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Jerc, courtesy of Harry. Wood, bourbon, smoke in nice aroma. Dark brown, small foamy head. Great taste - bourbon prominent, but not overwhelming, oaky sweet, well balanced. Nice long sweet linger with alcohol present. Really good.
