Dec 18, 2007 Tap: Impressive stout! Dark black with a light brown head. It has a sweet whiskey and mild coconut aroma. Sweet rich flavors of cola and chocolaty malts. It’s tangy and lively, yet with fragile carbonation. Quite good!

Dec 18, 2007 Sampled at the second annual Bistro’s West Coast Barrel Aged Beer Fest, 5.6% abv: Mostly opaque dark mahogany pour has a well-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and doughy yeasty notes with big bourbon complexity and some nice dark fruity character. Body starts fairly full and earthy dark caramel and chocolatey sweet with a drier, toasty, slightly warming finish. A very nicely balanced and enjoyable BA stout.

Dec 31, 2006 FoBAB 06: Deep brown with ruby highlights and minimal head. The aroma is noted with oak and booze at first before a nice vapor of chocolate, toasted malt, and oat come about. The taste starts malty and mostly stays than way with a rich sweet taste supported by a earthy and woody finish, the bourbon worked upon the aftertaste and cleans the palate. The body is too thin for an oatmeal stout, isn’t that the point of the oats? A good brew overall.

On Tap at the Goose Island Wriglyville Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beers November 4th, 2006.
Dark dark black but clear with no real head. Nose is thin, oaky and alcoholy. The taste is mostly malts but a strong backbone of alcohol and vanilla. Stong bourbon presence.

Nov 6, 2006 FoBAB 2006. Certainly one of the chewier and sweeter stouts of the day. Notes of molasses and roasted oats on the nose lead into brownie and soy sauce. Solid, not overwhelming, but very drinkable. Good bourbon finish.
