Aug 22, 2009 Pours a very nice deep brown that appears black without light, leaving a nice creamy tan head and good lacing.
Smell is fantastic. Bourbon is present but not overwhelming over the already fantastic Blackout smell, chocolate, coffee, cream.
Taste is really great as well, pretty much an accurate mirror of the smell and just the right amount of bourbon flavor.
Mouth is a little more thin that I would have liked and it doesn’t quite coat the mouth, but the carbonation is low and right.
Drinkability is good, I can’t wait to get back out to Ohio to pick up some more when it hits. Blackout is one of if not my one favorite "easy" to get imperial stout, this is a damn good version of it.

Aug 14, 2009 Updated: Sep 10, 200922oz bottle of the 2006 vintage, number 566 of 900 courtesy of BeerandBlues2. Color is black with mellow carbonation and a small tight tan brown head. Aroma of whisky and vanilla. This brew rocks with big flavors. Its a full bodied brew that goes down with a rich feel. Finish jumps out with big bold flavors of dried fruit , caramel and vanilla with a little oak coming on the end. In the after taste the flavors ride along for a while with a touch of alcohol showing. This is just a great brew with complex flavors that seem to get better as you drink it.
