Apr 11, 2009 ’07 bottle: Pours a dark amber color with a massive white head...bit of a gusher upon opening. Aroma was pure overkill in the oak/woodsy dept. Some notes of vanilla and toffee were apparent along with a strong alcohol note. WAAAAYYY overcarbonated...flavor is ridiculously hot, big on the whiskey and wood. Not much else to note. Big disappointment.

Apr 2, 2009 Bottle... Poured hazy ruby with a light brown head. Aroma of bourbon and barley grains. Smooth palate with noticeable bourbon and malts that helped balance the alcohol. A little tangy with a tickle from the alcohol in the finish.

Apr 1, 2009 Near black in colour with a large and lingering beige head, excellent lacing. The aroma is of chocolate, alcohol, bourbon, oak, some butterscotch, wood and vanilla. The flavour has some light alcohol in it but it never overpowers anything, chocolate, some caramel, oak, quite smooth for the size of this. Warming mouthfeel, medium body, mild carbonation. Finishes long, sweet, warming with a light bitterness.
Wow, this is quite nice. Much better than the alcoholic mess of the regular Angels Share. Many layers of complexity.
375ml bottle obtained in a trade with TheCheeseMan, thanks Dan.
Opened on December 2, 2008.

Apr 1, 2009 Very dark brown with light brown head. Intense vinous-woody nose with big notes of vanilla, caramel, chocolate. Not subtle but definitely complex and enticing. In the flavor I found a nice balance between the sweetness (again accenting the vanilla, caramel, chocolate), and the bitterness with a big toasty, woody backdrop. long, lingering aftertaste like sweet whiskey. Very warming of course. A bedtime beer that’s like a two-by-four whacking you across the face with flavor.

Mar 31, 2009 Bottled @ Jbrus’. The aroma has intense fruitiness, cognac/bourbon, oak. Dark coloured beer with an off-white, lasting head. The taste is sweet with vanilla, a lot (dried) fruitiness, bourbon, chocolate. The taste is better than the aroma. Very full body. Explosive taste sensation. Slightly burning. I liked the ’normal’ version better. but hey... You may also wake me up for this one.

Mar 31, 2009 This is one amazing bourbon bomb of a beer, not without underlaying complexity though. Allot of caramell, vanilla, oak, dried fruits and a luxurious alcohol touch. Extremely well balanced and drinkable still so full of taste and character.
