Pours a nice dark brown with hardly any carbonation.Hints of Vanilla, coffee, chocolate and hints of oak flavoring. One of the worlds best.

Dec 20, 2009 12oz Bottle: Pours opaque black w/ a small, creamy dark brown head. Beautiful beer. Aroma is bourbon, coffee, chocolate, a little smoke/ash & just a touch of vanilla. Wow! Flavor is just as intense as the aroma. Huge coffee flavor w/ chocolate, oats & a nice bourbon undertone. Very robust beer, thick & creamy mouthfeel w/ a long drawn out coffee finish. Amazing beer, very hard to believe this is over 11%...I haven’t had a beer this well put together in a very long time. Bravo Founders!

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle from a trade with Daknole. Viscous black pour with brown head. Aromas of burnt malts, bourbon, oak and vanilla. Lots of bourbon and it only gets stronger as it warms. Oak and vanilla flavors are also pretty strong. Full body with minimal carbonation and a slick, creamy mouthfeel. Very nice. Thanks Dak.

Dec 13, 2009 Sampled at the ORF tasting. Thanks to whoever brought it! I was pleasantly surprised with this one. The aroma was a pleasing blend of bourbon, mocha, and vanilla. Nothing overpowering or unpleasant about it. Taste was really nice too. Had a little kick to it that I want to say was a little higher hop content than other bourbon stouts. Great brew

Dec 11, 2009 Thanks to mashmaster for this one. Bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass better. Deep black, small creamy head. Starts very strong and malty, notes of strong coffee. Also some liquorice. Finish a bit woody-prickly, modest alcoholic, also with notes of chocolate. A wonderfiul beer!

Nov 30, 2009 12oz bottle. Huge brewed coffee nose. Dark, opaque brew with hazy head. Creamy body, lots of coffee. I say italian roast and espresso, a bit burnt and aged. Huge tan legs that stain the glass. Glad I got to try this.

Nov 25, 2009 On draft at Monk’s. Pours jet black, small mocha head. Rich bitter chocolate and coffee aroma, vanilla and bourbon. Unfortunately, flavor is very boozy with a bit too much bourbon. I may be in the minority, but this is my least favorite of the three (Canadian, regular, then Kentucky).
