Feb 17, 2007 22 oz bottle from Surdyks in Minneapolis. Leather, oak, tobacco, caramel, and a mild bourbon finish that lingers for awhile. A very nice, drinkable brew. Cross b/t an English BW and an imp. stout.

Jan 21, 2007 Pours a clear brown with a thin covering of tan foam, spotty but decent lacing. Prominent sweet vanilla and oak in the aroma.
More of the same in the flavor, caramel an llightly roasted malt with lots of vanilla and some nice oak undertones. A hint of hopping and some warm alcohol in the finish. Mild carbonation, medium body, a silky smooth sipper. Good stuff.

Sep 9, 2006 Poured from a bomber. Thick dark brown and cloudy. A thin ring of head remains.. Intense aromas of caramel, molasses, vanilla, bourbon, coffee. Very smooth flavor and the alcohol seems to be well hidden. I will let this warm up to see if the flavor intensifies. Not quite as complex as an imperial stout, but still a good sipper.

Mar 7, 2008 Decent. I could have used more flavor - underwhelming. The coffee, chocolate and oak notes were lost on me. Besides the thinness, a good drink.

Jul 8, 2004 Very dark, opaque, anise all over with dark fruits, roasty, medium bodied, very drinkable and smooth. My wife says that this is probably something like Indiana Jones was drinking at the bar in one of those movies.

Feb 9, 2004 surprisingly dark; solid black with a tan head. smells almost like cherry cola with a hint of chocolate--also some malt in the nose. the body is more like a porter than anything else. some sweetness and fruitiness, but a strong hops presence. finishes extremely clean for a high-alcohol beer; not quite enough aftertaste though. pretty good, unique brew.

Jan 10, 2008 I’ve had this beer a handful of times, and it seemed a bit different each time. I can’t believe I’ve not reviewed it until now!
It poured a dark brown with reddish hues. It had a medium bit of head composed of tiny bubbles. Aroma was a creamy smell...like a cream soda (I guess that’s vanilla) and some chocolate. Flavor was of bourbon notes which were over-powered by vanilla. There were also watery chocolate notes (think Yoohoo). Mouthfeel was both a bit watery and a bit rough feeling, and probably the weakest element of this beer.
I would recommend this beer. I’ve previously had it on tap at Roman’s Pub (St. Francis, WI), I bought a bottle from Gary’s (Oak Creek), and I had it most recently at Comet.

Apr 29, 2009 Pours brown with reddish edges and a one finger beige head. Aroma is oak, smoke, and malt. Flavor is chocolate, sweet malt, caramel, and marshmallow.
