Oct 27, 2008 Bottle @ LCRBM 2008. Loads of oak and raisin in the aroma. Very sweet, somewhat vinous flavor with bourbon, vanilla, raisin, plums, grapes and ash. Very complex, very much a sipping beer. Tasted excellent in less than ideal circumstances.

Oct 27, 2008 Updated: May 2, 2009LCRBM08: 75 cL bottle. Pours pitch black with a fully gone head. Aroma is mild spiced and dense malty. Very wineous too. A nice and inviting aroma reallt. Spiced and winous flavoured with a solid fruity note lurking beneath - given how dry and roasted the original Winter Porter was, then it is clear how much fruity complexity the barrel has added. Sweet and fruity finish. Well done Mike!8-4-9-4-17=4.2

Oct 26, 2008 [Bottle] generously shared by BDR. Pours black with basically no head. Aroma is plenty of bourbon, a touch of caramel, roasted malts, oak, vanilla, and alcohol. Very rich flavor, alcohol, roasty, somewhat chocolatey, a touch of tartness, and somewhat sweet.

Oct 24, 2008 From 750 ml bottle and shared by BDR, pours an opaque dark brown brew with a fast dissolving tan head that dissipates clean with maybe a film top. Aroma of bourbon and vanilla with some dark chocolate, dark pitted fruits and some roasted nuts. Taste is strong bourbon, full bodied, with flavors of molasses, vanilla, dark chocolate and a touch of toffee. Finish has a mild apple and vanilla aftertaste that slowly disappears with the bourbon character. Honored to have tried this rare porter.

Oct 23, 2008 Brewed August, 2007; Samples October 22, 2008. Big thanks to BDR. Black color with no head. Bourbon and vanilla aroma, though not an overwhelming bourbon. A little sea salt. Woody, oaky taste. The bourbon, vanilla and sweet malt blend very well together. A bit of a grape or wine vinous quality appears. Slightly salty. Walnuts and molasses. Wicked good.
