Nov 15, 2009 bottle thanks to Daknole, pours thick black with a medium dark tan head. Aroma is very chocolatey with some oak, oats, and bourbon tones. Flavors start with a strong punch of roasted malt and cocoa. Really sweet and rich but balanced in a finish of bourbon and alcohol with light notes of wood. Really well done, and nicely balanced. The heat is a nice welcome and doesn’t overpower anything but rather sits along side some wonderful dark malt and chocolate flavors. Good stuff!

Nov 15, 2009 Pours a dark black. No head at all. Wonderful aroma of dark chocolate and bourbon. Vanilla dances around the nose. Very strong flavor. Tons of chocolate and bourbon flavor. Strong alcohol burn feels like I just took a shot of bourbon. Wisps of vanilla finish this complex flavor. Slight bitterness in the end. Thick on the palate. Coats the mouth very thick. Minimal carbonation, ideal for imp stouts. Very BIG beer. Fantastic! Best at warmer temperatures.

Nov 14, 2009 Bottle pours a thick black with a thin tan head. Aroma is intense, heavily bourbon, oak and vanilla notes present. Taste is heavy on the roasted malt, chocolate, with a sharp bite of alcohol and bourbon finish. Heavy bodied with intense aroma and flavor, but the alcohol bite is bit too much.

Nov 14, 2009 [bottle] Black and thick. Tan thin head with tiny bubbles. I can smell bourbon, vanilla, oak barrel along with dark fruits. Thick and full on my tongue, warming as it goes down the throat and some bitterness. A great beer to sip on a cool evening.

Nov 14, 2009 2008 bottle. Pours thick inky black, with a thin chocolate-brown head, some lacing. Intense bourbon nose even from a distance, deep malty aromas of chocolate souffle, sugar cane, vanilla, leather, and oak. Thick body, smooth, creamy, medium dry. Gigantic chocolate malt flavor, some coffee, cherry, and bourbon. Chewy, warming, rich and savory. Lightly bitter, lasting molasses and oak finish. It’s hard to believe how much flavor they managed to pack into a bottle.

Nov 12, 2009 The pour was as black as black can be, with a very thin beige head. Aromas of coffee, toffee, chocolate, and bourbon. Tastes of chocolate and bourbon, with a very strong bourbon overtone. You can feel the 13% ABV in this one as the warming sensation begins quickly. Terrific beer for those cold winter nights in Chicago!

Nov 12, 2009 Brewed in the USA... Courtesy of FooFaa from B.A. thanks again Dan !!! Pours black in color with a super thin beige head. Aroma of bourbon, roasted malts and oak. Taste is also of bourbon, oak, malts, caramel and some vanilla flavors. Mouthfeel is wonderful, it’s smooth and kind of creamy with some smoky notes at the finish. The 13% is completly hidden in this Stout, and that something special they brewed is fantastic !!!
