From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 11/10/2007 Whisky aroma. Black and very smooth on the palate with a creamy and slightly bitter whisky finish.

On tap at the 04 Kennett Square BF. Poured a dark black with an off white head. Oaky, bourbon and smokey aroma. Chocolate and light vanilla in the taste as well. Smells a little better than it tastes. Thinner body. 9 4 7 3 16

Had this multiple times and each time I enjoyed it more. Increased the numbers. Nice wood, vanilla and bourbon mix!

Draft at West Chester. This one is nitrogenated, with a dark burnt sienna pour and a super creamy head. Big aroma of malt, vanilla, oak, bourbon, caramel. Tastes very complex, with a super smooth finish. Lots of flavors intermingling here, including malt, oak, some chocolate, licorice, and berries, and finishing bourbon, oak, vanilla, and subdued rauch elements. If you live within 2 hours of an Iron Hill, do yourself a favor and make a visit. Their beers just keep getting better and better, and the food is out of this world. Hats off to West Chester brewer Chris LaPierre. Yeah, man!

GABF 2007: Listed as Media, PA location. Poured a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma was decent with some barrel, vanilla and lightly sweet roasted malt. the bourbon in the flavor ran from front to back but didn’t overpower. Vanilla, sweet and malty.

The nitro tap kills the stout/portre taste and all you are left with is corn bourbon from the barrel. A drop of mid-sip vanilla

Poured a hazy mahogany with tan bubbles as the head. Aroma of chocolate, fudge, vanilla, and roast. Taste was full of anise, chocolate, and light roasty whisky. Mouthfeel at Kennett was flat, however, this on draft at North Wales tonight poured a great head and the mouthfeel was fairly average. A bit nicer than the flat Kennett version.
