Apr 18, 2008 bottle from hopdog. Like black gold bourbon light. Mild vegetable flavor distracts. Good, but not great. Mild notes of bourbon. Needs more malt background.

Mar 7, 2008 Updated: Feb 2, 2009EBF 2008 and a year old bottle from Duck Island in Seattle. This is very nice. It actually tastes like an even more drinkable BCS. Nice smooth oak-whiskey quality added to a very dark and coffee heavy porter.

Jun 1, 2009 Split this bomber with some pals while watching the USA Rugby game. Pours a slightly oily, opaque black with a thin, beige head. Aroma is well balanced, plenty of bourbon obviously, vanilla, chocolate, wood, booze, with some fruitiness that’s still present. Bourbon flavors are dominant but not over powering which is nice. Vanilla, fruits, wood, caramel, coffee, some light nuts, oak. Finish is where this really takes off, slightly oily, full bodied, some lasting sweetness, lasting booze. Very nice sipper.

Dec 21, 2008 Thanks to Santa(nbutler11) for this great brew. Bomber. Pours black with thick and rich tan head. Aroma is of burnt malt, bourbon, vanilla and chocolate. Flavor is rich and complex with bourbon and vanilla with chocolate and roasted malt. Mouthfeel is perfect for an imperial porter. Bourbon really mellow out the brew and brung that rich complexity. One hell of a brew.
