Bottle, thanks to Guerde for sharing. Pours a deep, dark brown with brown head. Aroma is mainly bourbon and cocoa with a hint of oak. Flavor is not as strong as the aroma and consists of bourbon, rich chocolate, roasted malts and tobacco. Mouthfeel is light for the style.

Aug 15, 2008 Thanks to RiversideAK for this one and to SuzyGreenberg for a back up bottle!
Black pour, tall lasting mocha head.
Complex aroma, bourbon, coffee, dark chocolate.
The flavor follows the aroma.
Nice one!

Aug 9, 2008 Bourbon aroma. Too much bourbon with burnt malt. Medium palate. I don’t like the overwhelming bourbon in this beer at all. It is nearly undrinkable.

Aug 7, 2008 Thanks to DA for sharing this bottle at the RBSG Grand Tasting. Pours black with a dark tan head. Little lacing. Roasty cocoa aroma along with some smokiness. Flavors of roasty coffee and hot bourbon. Oaky vanilla and a warming finish. Smooth and full mouthfeel.

Aug 5, 2008 Bomber poured a translucent dark brown with a lasting brown head. Aromas of bourbon, oak, vanilla, cocao nibs and a hint of licorice. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of bourbon, oak, vanilla, bitter chocolate and light carmel with a smooth lingering bourbon finish.
