Bradrcr (778), Renton, Washington, USA Apr 27, 2008 3/22/08 On draught at the Cask Festival. Aroma is is heavy on roast with a strong sour background. Appearance is dark brown with a moderate maintained head. Flavor is sweet and creamy with low toast character. Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with no carb texture. Overall, not bad. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Dec 19, 2007 draft @ bigwood fest - pours jet black with slight brown head; very faint bourbon aromas and flavors compared to others sampled that night; but the aging resulted in an incredibly smooth and tasty porter; malty, rich and creamy AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Dec 8, 2007 Tap at Brouwers. Dark brown with a tan head. Faint bourbon aroma with blackened malts and chocolate. Decent taste is mainly black malts, bitter chocolate and a very understated bourbon vanilla wood flavor. This beer was too much porter, and not enough bourbon/wood for me. 12/07/2007
