Dec 20, 2008 Bottle from MaltOMeal at the December Houston tasting. Thanks! Pours deep black with a thin body and an aroma of used coffee grounds with a hint of bourbon oak. Flavor is bourbon-infused coffee, oak, and light caramel. Full mouthfeel. Nice, nice beer.

Dec 20, 2008 Pours pitch black with a minimal head. Aroma of coffee and some bourbon. Lots of coffee flavor up front, followed by alcohol, malt, chocolate, and a vanilla finish. Tough to improve on the regular Breakfast Stout, but they figured out a way. Amazing stuff.

Dec 9, 2008 Smells of bourbon and hints of coffe with a roasty malty aroma. Silky medium carbonation mouthfeel. AWESOME, coffee and toffy caramel flavors upfront, followed by the bourbon finish. Great beer not as drinkable IMO as ther regular breakfast stout, but all in all amazing

Dec 3, 2008 2008 bottle.
Pours oily thick with very little caramel head. Good lacing.
Aroma is first bourbon, coffee.
Flavor is bourbon, coffee, cocoa, roasted malt, a little hot. A little bitter.
Mouthfeel is thinner than expected. Mild carbonation. Doesnt coat the mouth as much yet it sits on your tongue for a while and drives home the strong bourbon and coffee flavors and ends bitter.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep black with a small tan head that fades to a ring. Rich aroma, of sweet burnt toasted malt, wood, bourbon, dark fruits, and coffee. Huge taste, of burnt, toasted malt, coffee, chocolate, dark fruits, caramel, vanilla, and ends with bourbon and wood flavors. Lingering wood, coffee and malt richness. Incredibly rich and amazing taste.

Nov 18, 2008 Thanks to Fantomas23 for the bottle!
Black with a rich dark tan head. You can still find some of the breakfast elements here. The bourbon gives the coffee nose a nutty quality, some wood. Flavor has more wood and bourbon, and the roast is largely more of a factor. A little milk chocolate as well. The mouth rather thin. Overall good, the barrel mellows some of the vegetal bite of the normal breakfast, but it’s still not very complex.

Nov 17, 2008 Bottled, thanks Marsblursi! Black as a November night in hell. Pale brown head. Strong coffee aroma. Sweet and a bit syrupy. There are lots of coffee - vanilla and oak is there to a lesser extent. The mouthfeel is clean and the sweetness quite severe, which limits my enjoyment. The bourbon is balanced, but I find the the malt structure not really to be up to the very high rating.
