Jun 20, 2009 Bottle shared at a BeerAdvocate event. Pours an opaque dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of bourbon, caramel, and dark fruits. Flavor is loads of bourbon, sweet caramel malt, figs/dark fruits, and wood. Lots of alcohol on the finish and a medium-full palate. Good stuff but maybe a little heavy on the bourbon.

May 21, 2009 Big thanks to WeeHeavySD for this one. Opened it, expecting a gusher, given what I’ve heard about the overcarbonation problems. Oh, given a second, the foam is slowly growing just over the lip of the bottle. I really enjoyed this one, with just some lovely vanilla bourbon notes and the maltiness of the base beer shining through nicely.

May 20, 2009 Bottled. A murky dark brown beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruits and prunes, medium notes of malt, and lighter notes of chocolate, alcohol, bourbon, and vanilla. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, over ripe fruits, alcohol, caramel, wood, vanilla, and bourbon. The alcohol leaves a burn on the palate.

May 10, 2009 This is excellent, I enjoyed this more then the Brandy barrel. On tap at Lost Abbey. The aroma has lots of bourbon notes it it, but the flavor the bourbon is more muted. Raisin, caramel malt, vanilla, oak, bourbon, chocolate, cherries, and dark fruit. Complex and delicious.

May 10, 2009 Tap at the brewery. Had this after the brandy. Similar beers. Pours a deep brown red. Flavors of strong bourbon, roasted oak, raisin. Smooth, full mouth, mild carbonation. Way hot, a little distracting. Still tasty, perhaps a little age and this would mellow and match the superbness of the brandy.

May 9, 2009 Bottle thanks to Ryan. Pours thick muddy brown with purple tint... and absolutely no head. What a bummer. Palate is thick but flat; like drinking cream. Luckily it smells and tastes pretty damn fine. Figs, raisins, bourbon, vanilla, and some chocolate. I think I’m tasting some cherries, too. Hint of licorice. Damn, if this was carbonated even a little bit it would be near perfect.
