May 18, 2009 Bottle purchased at the brewery. Pours pitch black with a thin tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma has vanilla, oak, bourbon, and some dark roasted malt. Has a medium creamy mouthfeel. Flavor follows the nose and has a complex array of notes. Chocolate, coffee, bourbon, vanilla, wood, alcohol, and provides a nice warming feeling as you drink it. I really like this beer. It has a nice meld of the best qualities of the original BORIS and has some added complexity and flavor by having the barrel added. If you like a barrel aged stout then this is a beer for you. Just top quality. Nice job Fred!

Oct 28, 2009 I love imperial stout, and this beer is essentially perfect. It has big flavor, with a strong coffee, chocolate milk, and whiskey favor. It is very thick. The aroma is very strong with coffee. It is jet back with almost no head.

Jul 7, 2009 Rating #100 for the beer and #800 for me. 22oz bottle of batch 2. Pitch black pour with a thin light brown head. Chocolate nose with vanilla and oak and a hint of booze. Whiskey flavor up front with oaky vanilla. Coffee follows next, makes room for chocolate, then shows up again for the finish. Barrel-aging well executed. Not overdone. Made an amazing beer even better.

Apr 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark and thick brown with a nice tan head that rises even after the pouring has stopped. Aromas are thick with sweet, dark malt, chocolate, vanilla, a little bit of a bourbon edge and some dark fruit that hides behind the larger ticket items. Flavor is damn good. It is a lot like the original Boris with a bit more of an alcohol and smokey edge to it, which highlights some of its best qualities. You’d be hard pressed to find a better one....

Apr 29, 2009 Bomber shared by Odeed from miketd!! Nose of chocolate, caramel, vanilla, and very light bourbon. Black with a very small cinnamon head. Flavor of chocolate, Very light bitterness, chocolate, light bourbon, and more chocolate. Just the perfect twinge of bourbon.
