Aroma of chocolate and soft bourbon, some roastiness and coffee, oak. Flavor is mostly oak and bourbon with a very great imp stout on top of it. Chocolate, oatmeal, coffee, etc. Mouthfeel is smooth. Loved it. ChristianScheffel (4554), Odense, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 1, 2009 Black with a lasting brown head. Aroma of oak, tannin and licorice. Sweet licorice flavour with tannins and oak notes. Felt a bit like the oak was getting in the way of the delicious boris flavour. I’d rather have the original. Schultsc (483), Henderson, Nevada, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 28, 2009 Thanks Joey and Dr. Bill. Dark black with a thin, fine, creamy mocha-colored head. Aroma is full of roasted grain, dark chocolate, booze and wood. Flavor is mellower with all of the aroma elements present but more tightly integrated with the addition of a dry oatmeal edge. Body is very delicate for the size and intensity of the beer and very smooth on the palate. curly (613), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Solid black pour with a slight brown head. Aroma is butter, chocolate, vanilla, some hop spice and alcohol. Taste is hot alcohol with creamy milk and chocolate and a slightly bitter coffee/hop finish. Very full flavored and thick. Milky smooth body and carbonation. MmmcKay (283), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Sampled at the ’Butter’s Last Supper’ tasting. Pours a near black with super fine layer of brown head. Nose is strait alcohol, which once peeled back, has subtle vanilla, chocolate, and coffee notes. Flavor is balanced woody chocolate with vanilla, Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar™, and bourbon. Perfect full chewy body, is silky as well. But this is exceptionally expensive, has a lot of alcohol burn, and a touch of vegetal cocoa, so I’m not head over heels in love with this one. omhper (12236), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Oily black. Evident vanilla and licorice aroma. Sweetish with bready pop-corn and licorice. Full bodied with lots of chocolate, prickly pear frutiness and notes of raspberry, tar and vanilla. Great stuff, but I feel that the whisky flavour detracts more than it adds.
