Damn this beer is smooth for a bourbon aged porter. Pours dark as night with a small amount of off white head. Slight burbon notes come thrugh in the after tastes. Had it on cask the other night and I thought it was smooth before, god damn this is buy far one of the best cask beers i have ever had, smooth as fuck with an explosion of awesome sweet roasty boozy flavors!!!!!!

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.

[Bottle, thanks Guerde!] Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is very nice. German chocolate cake (Eben nailed that one), along with coconut and brown sugar. The taste is harsh, acrid roasted malt, bourbon, and a little bitterness. Pretty thin with an alright finish. Overall the aroma on this was good, but the taste was a huge letdown.
