bottle, 2008 vintage, pours black with a dark tan head; good lacing. Aroma is chocolate and bourbon with a roasted malt and oat note. Nice roasted malt and bourbon flavors with some coffee and bakers chocolate. Mellow mouthfeel with little to no alcohol presence. Awesome barrel aged brew!

bottle thanks to daknole aka the man. black with a khaki head. nose is creamy vanilla, roasted coffee, chocolate, bourbon and much much more that i can’t list. great thickness with a an even better flavor of vanilla, coffee, bourbon bitterness tagged with oak that tingles the gums. i need more of this beer asap. oh this was rating #700 for kbs.

Pours black with a dark brown head, and smells slightly of bourbon. The initial taste is a mix of coffee and chocolate that gives way to a slightly bitter bourbon aftertaste, with hints of vanilla. Actully drank with my scrambled eggs and bacon, and am still recovering from a massive mouth orgasm.

Beautiful black thick pour with amazing brown chocolate milk mocha colored head that is thick and enticing. Aroma is bold and full of oak, roasted coffee beans, and vanilla. Flavor is balanced and not muted. It is vanilla, oak, and roasted maltiness. It has a nice subtle bourbon meets dark chocolate finish. Mouthfeel is nice but a tad on the thin and watery side. Overall, great smell, great look, great taste and very close to perfect.

Wow. This pours as black as tar, with a dark tight head that lingers for a bit and turns into gorgeous lacing. The aroma is powerful with coffee and, what is that............. BOURBON!! Smells like my wife’s Makers Mark marinated ribs, with a touch of oak. I didn’t dare touch this until it warmed enough that no condensation remained on the glass. The first sip was just as imagined, with strong bourbon overtones, oak, and alcohol. The mouthfeel is incredibly creamy. The most I’ve ever tasted. The finish is unbelievably smooth and clean, with a touch of the smoke.. This was a real treat. I hope to find more, and soon!

Don’t sit on this one. Pours a black thick rich color with a decent size tan head. Aroma of bourbon, malt and vanilla extract. Taste of coffee, caramel amd molasses. The flavor is silky smooth and smokey. Has a nice creamy chocolate start with a bit of earthy finish. Very nice brew!

bottle from ’08. Pours a deep brown nearly black. Vanilla, coffee, whiskey, roast malts, sweet, some mild spice nose. Flavor is a rich coffee, lots of roast, chocolate, bourbon. oily full mouthfeel. Bourbon lingers all the way through. Great beer.
