| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Pours a dark black color with very light beige short lived head. Smell is very nice with roastiness, bourbon, and some light oakiness too. Taste is smooth, lightly roasty and very chocolately, and a touch dry and oaky. Decent mouthfeel, but could be a tad richer. Pretty good overall, but the flavor didn’t quite live up to the smell.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 20, 2008 Pours very dark brown, leaning more towards a blackness in color. Almost no head and very little carbonation from the 1 pint 6 oz bottle. Aroma consisted of a good chocolate and roasted malt character with a bit of a root beer and a nuttiness undertone. Flavor had a very strong bourbon, vanilla and alcohol character, along with milder notes of chocolate and great roasted flavors. The bourbon flavor was a bit overpowering for my taste. radagast83 (1289), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 17, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small head. Aroma is malty, with a solid, wonderful vanilla and caramel twist. Extremely tasty. Notes of oak, vanilla, chocolate, and roasted malts. This beverage is good - but definitely a beer to share as a 22 oz is just about too much for one sitting - even as good as I found it. LooseCannon (927), Norfolk, Virginia, USA
