Jan 14, 2009 THOUGHTS: Not too much different than the others versions. Not much of that vanilla mentioned on the label. There was some in the aroma, but just a trace in the flavor. Each version of this beer is smoother.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark brown that looked black in the glass with a hint of red highlights and an average-sized, tan head that mostly diminished, but kept a nice sheet. The aroma was roasted, burnt and caramel malt, mild coffee, smoke, toffee, vanilla, alcohol and whiskey. The initial flavor was moderately sweet, lightly acidic and light to moderately bitter; while the finish was lightly bitter and sour with a long duration. There was molasses, caramel, toffee, smoke, coffee, chocolate and a hint of vanilla. The medium to full body was oily and slightly syrupy with soft carbonation and a lightly astringent, lightly alcoholic and smokey finish.

Dec 12, 2008 Bottle... Pours black with a thin body and a weak head. Aroma is coppery chocolate coated with weak Avery Beast brown sugar and whisky. Flavor is upfront chalky oak with bits of peaty earth and a whisky drip finish. Average mouthfeel. Good, but flavors seem off. Not sure how much influence the age of the wood has but based on my ratings, I say the younger the wood the better in this case.

Dec 9, 2008 Cask at Aromas. Pours black, small tan head. Aroma of whiskey, malt, chocolate, light alcohol, oak, vanilla. Very complex. Taste is also heavy on whiskey, though more of the malt flavors are present. Oak, vanilla, and molases are all present. Very full mouth. Very nice slow drinking beer.
