May 12, 2009 Thick and dark brown with a very small head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is bourbon, chocolate and coffee. Heavy, almost astringent mouthfeel. Flavor starts with bourbon and opens up to reveal chocolate, coffee, tobacco and molasses. Finish is brown sugar. Doesn’t mask it’s alcohol content but it works quite well the flavor profile.

May 11, 2009 Bottle from Lee’s Discount Liquor in Mesquite, Nevada.. Pours black as night with a dark brown head fades quickly.. Smell is alot of sweet bourbon, some vanilla and a little oak. I imagine this is what God’s vagina smells like!! Flavor is obviously an ass load of bourbon, but under that there is some vanilla, dark chocolate and smoke..Probably one of the thickest beers I have had, but I like it. I almost grabbed a spoon.. I love barrel aged beers and im glad this one is so easy to come by.. Over the top and amazing at the same time.

May 9, 2009 2008 vintage on draft at Blind Tiger Ale House. This one was run through a randle with some mint in there to celebrate the Kentucky Derby. This one poured a near pitch black color with a small a tan head that fades to a thin film around the glass. The aroma shows some dark bittersweet chocolate, burnt malts, roast, and a huge presence of kentucky bourbon. The flavor follows with the bitter chocolate, roast, and burnt caramel up front followed by the bourbon. Some oaky vanilla and a hint of mint comes through, but everything is dominated by the bourbon flavors. A touch of smoke rounds things out. Medium-full bodied and very thick on the mouthfeel. The carbonation is low and helps this one go down fairly smooth with a huge bourbon finish. The mint leaves a nice clean feel behind also. The alcohol wams things up all the way down. Well crafted stout, but this is just all bourbon and a little too much for my taste.

May 6, 2009 Pours black and oily with a thin tan head. The aroma is of bourbon and roast malt with vanilla notes. The flavor has very apparent bourbon, but it doesn’t overwhelm the big roast malts and the coffee and vanilla accents. It’s full bodied and very tasty. I’d vote for dialing back the bourbon just a little bit, but it’s an excellent brew.

May 6, 2009 This became my favorite beer of the moment when I had this on tap in a Chicago tap room. This is so smooth, incredibly complex, with an alcohol content that isn’t overpowering. The bourbon strikes a perfect balance with the malts. You have to try this.
