Jul 11, 2003 Very dark brown and oily-looking. Bourbon aroma – sweet charcoal, slight vanilla, prunes and big rich malts. Long charcoal and vanilla palate, with noticeable alcohol. Rich fruit esters lie underneath, resulting in a well-integrated brew – rich, warming, enjoyable.

Black oil, thin head. Intense aroma, very sweet, of vanilla, oak, roasted malt, tar, leather. Full mouthfeel, thick, oily, sweet, malty, with a very nice roasted malt line, some liquorice, cookies, vanilla, dark chocolate. Strong final, with a clear presence of the roasted malt, sugars and vanilla, salty dark chocolate 99% cocoa; toffee and rubharb; the alcohol starts warming the mouth

Dec 27, 2008 Bottle from Utobeer. Black, thin tan head. Spicy oaky, thick tannic oily Bourbon aroma. Not quite as thick as I expected. Didnt blow me away in the way I expected. Bourbon on aroma. Its just hollow in the mouth. Quite disappointed actually. Decent Bourbon but just dies. Oddly disappointing, but Phil l thinks that I may have had a bad bottle. Didnt taste off, but the body just disappeared.

May 14, 2008 Bottled, alc. 11 % (vintage 2005)
Pitch black, no head. Vintage nose: raisins, vanilla, oak, tarry smokey wood, dark malts. Sweetish, a bit sticky. Vanilla, bourbon, licorice, warming! Bourbon in the aftertaste. Barreling is not overused here and is not dominating which is nice. Balanced fireplace stout.
