Jul 7, 2009 Botle at the BA Bolita release party. Huge oaky bourbony nose. Drives some of the chocolate aroma of the base beer under but the roasted coffee nose still is there. Flavor is amazing and well integrated. Smooth with very big notes of chocolate and bourbon. Roasty and slightly bitter on the backend with a lingering bourbon and vanilla finish. Very very good.

Jun 30, 2009 bottle 227/470 graciously provided by superdave70...
looks nice...it pours pretty much black with a fluffy long lasting tan head.
wow, this stinks of whiskey!... spicy barrel notes mixed with vanilla, roasty black barley, cocoa, molasses, black raisins and brown sugar.
there’s all kinds of whiskey in the flavor too... it is really well integrated amongst notes of dark roasted grain, wood, chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla, molasses, coffee-like nuttiness, dark dried fruits and a tannic dry finish.
thick and creamy...delicious8/5/8/4/18/4.3

Jun 23, 2009 black with almost no head. smells of the whiskey barrel. cocoa, lots of booze, coffee flavor and raisin all over. carbonation is a bit lacking and the chocolate is dominant in the finishin a very good way .a bit of peanut butter and caramel in there too. i think if i get a well carbed bottle this will be much better.

Jun 18, 2009 Thanks to ucusty for sharing this one at the Carolina Crew gathering! Another fine IS on this debauched evening. Very handsome pour, not quite the fluffy head one would hope but it’s more than compensated for by the soft and subtle barrel aroma. Nothing overdone or artificial-smelling about this, just a lovely addition to one of the finer American impy stouts. No heat at all in the flavor, but somehow a smidge of Yeti’s character seems to have been muted. Very nice beer though.

Jun 18, 2009 Thanks ucusty for sharing. Pours a dark inky black with no head to speak of. The nose shows mild oxidation, some whiskey, more vanilla character than I expected, alcohol, some acetaldehyde. The flavor has a nice barrel character, prominent whiskey, nice development of vanillins, alcohol, some sweetness, chocolate. The palate shows mild alcohol and a tannic barrel character.

Jun 15, 2009 Git to try bottle #174/470 of this courtesy of "hannont". Colour... Black with a thin tan head. Nose... definitely whiskey as well as sweet, roasty and malty. Palate... nicely boozy, with oak, vanilla, brown sugar, Christmas pudding, strong coffee, dark dried fruits, burnt toffee and a delightfully long finish. So glad that it aged for 20 months. The Stranahan’s barrels obviously added a wonderfully complex character to this stout!
