Full Sail Top Sail Imperial Porter Bourbon Barrel Aged

22oz. Bomber Gold Foil Pours a nice black color, nice carbonation, nice little fizzy tannish head, which leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is big and malty, lots of bourbon, woody, nice touch of vanilla, some toffee/chocolate, with some nice tones of caramel. The taste if very nice, malty, very nice notes of vanilla, very nice touch of bourbon, slight woody taste, a very nice balance of toffee/chocolate. Full/medium body, the alcohol is hidden very well. Very drinkable, another great brew from FS that is here in Utah, highly recommended.

[Bottle] shared by Guerde. Pours viscous black with a soapy tan head. Aroma is full of bourbon, vanilla, alcohol and is quite earthy. Flavor is sweet and a little metallic, burnt, tart/ bittersweet, and alsohol with a somewhat roasty finish. Thinnish mouthfeel. Tastes almost charred.

Pours a velvety black from the bottle with a faint attempt at a brown head of foam. Loaded with bourbon, vanilla, bubble gum, and licorice on the nose with flavors of dark cocoa, mild coffee, and dark fruit in the taste. Highly viscous and potent, but a little thin in body.

22 oz. bottle, courtesy of Beerlando. 2008 vintage. Dark black color with a small, light tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, soothing vanilla, and tons of whisky. Thin mouthfeel, but not watery. Flavor is a treat. While it is definitely boozy, the other notes are still allowed to shine. As with the aroma, notes of vanilla, chocolate, oak, and some smokiness. Finish is warming alcohol and coffee notes. Very tasty beer.

Bomber from JB175. Thanks Jason! Pours black with ruby around the edges and a little foam around the edges. Smell is coffee beans, slight chocolate, and a lot of harsh oakiness. Flavor is similar with a huge hit of stale coffee, creamy cocoa and some astringent oak. Bourbon flavor was nice though. It left some stinging alcohol on the palate. Medium palate and medium carbonation. This was sort of

Bonus Bomber from OldMr.Crow. Full Sail and me once got along but we don’t anymore. So I’m curious about how good this might actually be. Pours black with a light brown head. Nose is oaky with bourbon. Taste is sweet and chocolaty and overall decent.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown body. Big head. Lots of sweet chocolate malt, bourbon, coffee and oak. Not bad.

Bottles thanks to Beerlando and Sparky27 = thanks! Darkish pour with a thick aroma of bourbon, vanilla, and raisins. Very sweet and syrupy with lots of bourbon, dark fruit, vanilla, and some chocolate. Not bad, but should have been better - just a bit messy.
