Dec 10, 2008 Bottle. Brought back from Denver after GABF 2008. Shared with jarspag, sauceyhops, Katie and Jon. Black, oily appearance with no carbonation. Striking similarity to soy sauce. Aroma is packed with oak wood and smoky bourbon whiskey. Very pleasing nose. The flavor follows up a bit less impressive. Mostly strong whiskey with a slight metallic aftertaste. Maybe this has oxidized from sitting in the barrel too long. Palate feels watered down. Nice oak flavors hang on the aftertaste. Kind of thin bodied.

Dec 9, 2008 Bottle. Poured dark black with no head. Very hoppy sweet nose. First flavor was of licorice, but has a nice smokey flavor with hints of vanilla. A bit of the abv is noticeable, but not overpowering.Big finish that is sweet, than quite bitter. Nice beer.

Dec 8, 2008 Color is solid black with light carbonation and a thin tan head. Aroma is deep and rich with sweet roasted scents, a hint of oak and some whiskey. Taste is rich and sweet. Starting with a full body it goes down with a rich smooth, almost silky feel. Finish is bold with sweetness of dried fruit some vanilla and oak, then just a faint touch of hops with a very mellow bitterness. After taste is a little more bitterness then on the tail end is a dry oak whiskey like alcohol feel. This is a very big bold brew and defiantly a sipper.

Dec 6, 2008 I love the Oak Aged Yeti, so this one was enjoyable as well. I would love to see how this one ages, as its just way too hot right now. Too much whiskey in both the armoa and flavor. Maintains Yetis oily texture, which was nice, but lost some of the thickness, which was not. Notes of chocolate, vanilla, and wood throughout. This one should age nicely, but for the ridiculous price, Id much rather just get the Oak Yeti.

Dec 6, 2008 750ml bottle, 286/470, with a huge thanks to the man BlackForestCO. Pours a seemingly thicker dark brown/black with a creamy one finger dark tan head, moderate retention and lacing. Aroma is vanilla, whiskey, although not overpowering or too forward, oak, molasses, and light milk chocolate. Flavor is more whiskey forward, but still works well, with vanilla, oak and more milk chocolate. Being a fan of BA beers, I found this to be quite nice. Thanks again Jake, you rock.

Dec 5, 2008 Updated: Dec 6, 2008100th Imperial Stout rating. Pours pitch black with a light brown head. Looks kind of watery though. There is a lot of alcohol aroma in the nose. The flavor sooooo hot. There is some chocolate and bourbon. Seems thin too.
