Thanks to rustychiles for the share on this one. Pours a viscous black with no head. Aroma of thick roast, vanilla, chocolate, and bourbon. I’m no bourbon fan, and this was still a little harsh for me, but this was a pretty darn good bourbon stout. Especially the aroma. As it warms, the bourbon, vanilla, diecetyl, chocolate, roast, and alcohol flavors meld together better. Pretty good.

Dec 13, 2009 Sampled at Darkness Day and this beer is incredible. Pours black with a dark tan head; good lacing. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, bourbon and maple. Flavor is bitter with sweetness. Palate is creamy and thick.

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).

Nov 21, 2009 12 oz bottle: pours jet black with a small cinnamon colored head. Aroma is strong of coffee with hints of chocolate, oak and vanilla. Flavor is coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and caramel. The bourbon flavor is nicely integrated. This beer has a nice long finish. Some stouts seems to have a bitter, astringent finish, while this beer has a nice mellow mocha/milk chocolatey finish. The 11.2% is well hidden. To me this is a dangerously drinkable beer.
