Bottle @ jbrus. Dark color, brownish head. Aroma of barrel aged stout, I cannot find a good description for it. Creamy texture. Chocolat, bit alcoholic. Just great stuff, better drink it!

Bottled @ Jbrus’. The aroma has oak, cognac, chocolate, some dried fruits and roast. Black coloured beer with a small brown head. The taste is quite explosive with all the liquors and tastesensations of chocolate, wood, cognac/bourbon, vanilla. Balanced and complex beer. Good one.

Bottle@Home, vintage 2007 tasted in 2009. Again a great Imperial Stout and barrel aged. It’s all there and has a very nice balance. I’ve a bottle from 2008 as well and I think this will be even better less aged.

Had side-by-side with the original Blackout Stout. Thanks to DrHomolka for this one. I just didn’t think that it stacked up to the normal Blackout. The bourbon flavors didn’t blend great, with just the two different profiles kind of competing for space. The bourbon won.

Bottle thanks to MrChopin!! I have been looking for this brew for years and am very excited to finally get to try this. Aroma has notes of dark dried fruits, bourbon, oak, licorice, alcohol, sweet roasted malts, and resin hops. Pours a very dark brown hue that sits black in the glass with a small light tan head that mostly diminished and left little lace. Flavor is sweet roasty and finishes quite bitter. Palate is Full-medium bodied and oily soft with an alcohol bite. The bourbon is quite noticable and is a good base for all of the other flavors like licorice, vanilla and oak. Very well done considering there are no additives. The alcohol and hops are quite biting and bitter though so this beer would probably age well. I’d love to try this beer again after a year in the cellar.

Thanks tpd975 for the share. Pours a cola brown with an off-white head. A ton of yellow lace in the swirl, and lots of flavor erupt from the aroma of this beer. The nose has vanilla, toffee, coconut, dark chocolate, alcohol, and all of the great qualities imparted from wood. Flavor is bourbon, alcohol, vanilla, chocolate, buttery goodness, and sweet licorice. Awesome in a bottle.
