Oct 28, 2008 This is another American Micro brewed wonder. An excellent RIP..right up there with Hoppp’n Frog Oatmeal RIP. Left Hands Oak agd RIP and Stones RIP. A big beer with incredible balance and hints of chocolate malt, with a subtle sweetness of vanilla, dark sugars, anise, expresso, and a hint of hops for balance. Great Job Great Divide!

Whisky aroma. Black fruity and a little rich on the palate. Smooth and bitter chocolate roast finish.

Feb 16, 2009 #444/470 bottle thanks to Lumpy. Thick glass coating pour with a small reddish bubbly head that reappears with a good swirl sits atop a dark black brown opaque body. Nose is dark chocolate fudge, vanilla, and unami. Taste is the same with notes of bourbon, wood plank, and dark chocolate resins (caramel candies). Very nice silky mouthfeel that feels runny on the tongue. A bit boozy but thats how I like it. Great beer.

Apr 6, 2009 Bottle #285/470 generously shared by Sparky27...ERIC, you ROCK!!! Creamy vanilla milkshake floats on top of a liquid onyx body. The aroma is sublime; bourbon soaked oak, molasses, dark chocolate and roasted espresso. Complex and delicious with dark fruit, cocoa powder, caramel, vanilla and wood. The bourbon is evident but not overpowering. Extremely thick and viscous. An incredible beer!!!

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.
