Style: Stout
Holland, Michigan USA

pours a murky reddish brown brew.Nose is a nice blend of oak-vanliia and malts.Very well done.Roasted malts are ther but so are some other characters: some vanilla and some thing a little sour, like sour fruit.good brew

Aroma is of raisins, Bourbon, dark fruits, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Thin tan head with medium amber body, Flavor doesn’t match the aroma but isnt bad. immediately it tastes creamy and warm with brown sugar, butter or butterscotch and some sort of yellow cherry flavors. Overall decent and points for not being boring and bland.

22oz bottle thanks to Pailhead: Pours to an opaque brown with some redish highlights when held to the light. Atop sits a gigantic light brown head that lasts with some nice lacing. The aroma is light roast, spices, light citrus, oak. The taste is slightly acidic, with some chocolate, oak, raspberry, spicy oak, cherry, citrus, light floral hops. Medium bodied, medium carbonated, finishes with some acidic roasted notes.

2008 bottle; thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours dark cola brown with foamy off-white head. Nose is roast, chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, and oaky excellence. Flavor is decadent: chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, roast, lingering dark sweetness- borderline dark fruit with lingering vanilla. Thoroughly enjoyable medium-bodied stout.

Robe brune foncée très claire surmontée d’une mousse beige mince. Arômes de whisky, de chêne et de malt torréfié. Saveurs de caramel et de café.

Dark pour with foamy tan head. Lots of sweet vanilla in both the aroma and flavor. The oak is forward in the flavor as well, but the taste is more like green wood instead of aged. Sweet caramel with some chocolate notes also come through. Silky smooth, soft mouthfeel. The alcohol is well hidden. This is different. Nonetheless, I thought it was drinkable.

On tap at The Galway Tribes (Frankfort, IL). Poured into a tulip glass. A deep brown pour with a decent sized tan head. The aroma was strong, but more alcohol infused than the other tones of vanilla and malts I picked up. Initial taste is strong: Chocolate and malty, with a stranger than most barrel aged beer finish. More winesque than whiskey characteristics are what I picked up, but maybe a 2nd tasting is in order. Some hints of oak, smokiness, and vanilla on the finish. A nice experience and maybe a repeat buy and rerate.

Black pour with a tiny tan head. Roasted malt nose with maybe a hint of toffee. Dark and malty flavor, subtle chocolate and whiskey notes. Not bad, but a bit thin.
