Jun 2, 2008 Bottle from Apple Valley Liquor:
Pours very dark brown with a thin brown head.
Aroma is molasses, creamy coffee and smokey oak. Some thin vanilla and a sharp alc bitterness in the aroma that doesn’t appear in the flavour until the very end. Very strong molasses with the initial pour but fades quickly leaving the smokey oak in charge.
Definitely taste the whiskey. Creamy coffee again with a roasty malt backbone. A little thin in the finish but still quite good.
I like it.

Jun 2, 2008 Pours a deep, dark black chocolate colour with a full brown head- aromas of oak barrel, and a touch of whisky. Creamy taste on the palate, sweet and plenty of roasted malts and smokey character.

May 26, 2008 Dark brown in color with a roasty, smoky aroma somewhat reminiscent of Ten-Fidy. Flavor is smoky and dark with lots of roast and barrel flavors. Nice, but somewhat one dimensioinal - still a nice departure from the ordinary brew.

May 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a midnight black, with a very small amount of brown foam. The aroma is smokey/sweet, with hints of sweetened coffee, dark molasses, and a bit of smoke. The flavor is a solid sweet maltiness, with a hint of toasted oak. It has a full, slick, oily mouthfeel. There is a bit of alcohol and oak to the finish. The year’s worth of time spent searching was worth it.

May 13, 2008 Pours nearly black with a darkish tan head. Aroma of whisky, molasses, and roast. Taste starts wout with dark sweet mailts that moves into a strong whisky finish. Nice beer, but whisy flavor dominates here. Thick mouthfeel with medium/low carbonation.

May 1, 2008 11.2oz bottle. Pours black with brown highlights, no head and no lace. Smells of sweet dark malt, alcohol, dank wood, and a bit of roastiness. Tastes of dark, sweet, roasty malts and alcohol. Some wood and bourbon flavors toward the finish. Definitely better than the un-BA version. The body is medium/thick with decent carbonation. Much thicker than OG version. Pretty good.

Apr 30, 2008 This was really great stuff. This is much richer than its regular version, almost has a viscous mouthfeel, with a lot of barrel aged character here, you can really taste the whiskey notes. Rich and creamy, with lots of chocolate and caramel here, but all in moderation, this is really well balanced.
