| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2009 On tap at Stub and Herbs. Pour is nice: black body, minimal head with decent lacing. Aroma is sweet and roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, molasses. Flavor is bittersweet which is very nice. Palate is creamy but has a slight metallic finish. Solid beer overall. kmyers8807 (29), Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 29, 2009 For sure taste the bourbon. Was a very good brew other than to over strong bourbon taste. I actually enjoyed this brew, just dont dring to quickly or its lick taking shots. Davetopay (36), Leesburg, Virginia, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 28, 2009 I rank it high because I love it! Perfect weight and smoothness on the tongue. The flavor is ever evolving with maple, coffee, cocoa, molasses, bourbon, vanilla, and musky undertones. It kind of make me want to sit in the woods on a dank November day. I like it served at room temp. Chill down to far and the mouthfeel doesn’t bloom and the flavors hide. I do have to wonder how this will cellar...... 13mikey (138), New Hope, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 27, 2009 22 oz bomber from Princeton’s. Black in color but not very thick and little thin head. Aroma is boozy with the oak and bourbon coming out very prominently. The mouthfeel is much thinner than I expected but the flavors are definitely rich and full. Again the oak and bourbon are present with the vanilla coming through slightly on the finish.

It also makes a great marinade. JohnnyJ (1307), Carlsbad, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 17, 2009 Dark brown pour, thin tan head. Bourbon, sweet roasted dark malt, a bit of oak and vanilla. Mostly bourbon.. it’s kind of simple. The mouthfeel is to thin. pantanap (1336), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 16, 2009 12oz bottle from armanetti’s... pours a dark brown, cola-like, with a thin soapy light beige head... Aroma of roasted malt, cola, dark fruit, vanilla, and light bourbon. Quite a lot going on in a good way... Flavors were an intermingling of the aforementioned scents without anything being too assertive than the rest. Moderately sweet all around with nice barrel notes. Finishes off with some bitterness. Somewhat lively carbonated with a creamy mouthfeel. keepersj12 (787), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 16, 2009 Loved it. Dark brown almost black with a small tan head. Nice aroma of chocolate, vanilla, bourbon. Flavor is similar with wood coming through. Very smooth finish. My first thought was whoa, this is gonna be good.
