Feb 21, 2009 12 oz bottle (vintage 2007) at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. Pitch black with small head. Strong sweet and perfumed bourbon aroma with vanilla, salty licorice and dark chocolate. Rich sweet chocolate and bourbon flavor with vanilla, salty licorice and some grainy notes. Some coffee and charcoal towards finish. Very warming. Good strong bourbon character but not overpowering.

Feb 21, 2009 One of the darkest (in flavour), fatest and most generous beers I have tried so far. Here’s a extreme amount of flavour, lots of bourbon both on the nose and the palate alongside a big sweetness that is still balanced out by very non-noticable hops. Extremely tasty and stylish beer that, if something is a bit one-dimensional.

Feb 19, 2009 12 oz 2008 bottle pours, and feels like, warm motor oil. Bourbon dominates aroma and is strong in flavor. Body is viscous and carbonation is enough to balance. Besides bourbon, there’s barley malt syrup flavors with notes of vanilla bean extract, alcohol and oak. Finish runs overtime.

Feb 16, 2009 12oz 2008 bottle. Pours black with a thin mocha head that diminishes into a ring of foam. Aromas of bourbon, oak, vanilla, and of course chocolate, and a touch of coffee. Flavors are sweet malt, roasted malt, oak, chocolate, and a nice bourbon finish. Plate is thick, rich, and smooth. BCS Warms the soul!

Feb 16, 2009 Updated: Apr 28, 2009Bottle. Pours deep black with a thin brown head. Looks great, pours mean and appealing. Smells of sweet burnt malts and chocolate. Taste is complex, robust. Subtle notes are picked up with each sip. A treat.
blipp (1612), Newark, New Jersey, USA
Feb 16, 2009 Bottle, 2008. Pours near black with a thin tan head. Lots of bourbon sweetness in the aroma. Secondary notes of chocolate and roast. The flavor starts with a heavy hit of bourbon and vanilla sweetness, which yields to roasted malt, coffee, and burnt wood. Slightly over the top, but definitely something I’d seek out again in the future.
