Aug 25, 2008 Warm chocolate taste, some very light vanilla. Slight hop in the end. Wet, drinkable body, not drying or cloying at all.

Mar 2, 2008 dark brown color, weak tan head. sweet, perfumy aroma with whiskey overtones. sweet (vanilla? chocolate? flowers?) beginnings (too sweet for my taste) is offset by a good hit of Jim Beam, which makes this brew worth while.

Dec 14, 2005 Enjoyable barrel aged porter that starts out with chocolate, nuts, vanilla, coffee, caramel type sweetness...but always mixed with a strong bourbon alcoholic fragrance. The bourbon/oak lingers in the finish with a fairly strong alcoholic warming down the gullet.

Nov 25, 2005 Pour at 3rd Annual FoBAB in Chicago. Clear, deep mahogany pour with a short beige head. Rather sweet aroma of dark chocolate, vanilla, oak, and a powerful dose of Mr. Jim Beam. Bourbon dominated the flavor as well, with lesser dark chocolate, some caramel sweetness, vanilla, and oak. Palate was quite slick with sharp alcohol notes... chocolate and other roasty malts came back for the smooth finish. This was good, but the balance was heavily-skewed toward the bourbon... would’ve probably enjoyed this more after only 6 months in the barrel.

Nov 13, 2005 Fobab 2005: Brown hue with a small head and oily tears. The aroma has notes of vanilla bean, mocha, oak, lactic sourness, apple amd alcohol vapors. The taste starts fruity and nutty with bourbon barrel overtones of vanilla, wood, and salt. Some chocolate, caramel and coffee as well. The feel is biting and warming yet overall it is still smooth on the finish. A solid beer that got better as it warmed.
