| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 21, 2007 sweet malty aroma, wood, grass, hay, and bourbon. flavor pretty much the same...a very sweet beer with a hint of alcohol and the strong wood and bourbon aftertaste. a slightly acidic character to it, especially after the sweetness wears off the aftertaste, and it leaves a sour residual behind. afireinside96 (827), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 23, 2009 22oz bottle shared by TheCaptain. Thanks Mark. Very dark ruby red color with a creamy beige head. Huge gusts of oak and vanilla waft up from the glass. The taste has the aforementioned oak and vanilla along with some toffee and bourbon. Nicely balanced. drpimento (824), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jan 1, 2006 Poured with a creamy, frothy, foamy, light tan head that lasts with lots of lace. Great roasty, malty, coffee, vanilla, chocolate, and the claimed whiskey aroma. Taste was similar but also a dairy cream taste and mouth feel along with distinct alcohol. Very pleasant finish. Just put on draft today at Bodega downtown La Crosse. They have bottles too. bgburdman9 (823), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 5, 2006 22oz. bomber. One of the best looking beers ive seen with a sticking head and great lacing. The aroma began with a wonderful choclate, vanilla, and fruits and by the end it was alcohol and bourbony. At the first taste, I was a little unsure. The taste did not seem to match the aroma at all. I got a chemical metallic flavor, but as it warmed it definitely improved exponentially. By the end it tasted more like a red wine or bourbon than a beer. The flavor tasted a little sour but it was a good sour that added to the flavor. cb (809), Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 1, 2004 Woody, slightly acidic, malty with vinous undertones detected in aroma. Slightly thin palate, lingering apple/pear flavor. Malty flavor with medium smokiness. Not incredibly exciting but not bad. WabashMan (805), Noblesville, Indiana, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 16, 2004 A beer that simply looks powerful, with a very dark brown, almost black color, and light tan head. Aroma has some dark fruits among other things. Flavor is really quite good, bringing in some chocolate and coffee flavors. Has a somewhat creamy smoothness as well. Really a very nice brew.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 18, 2009 Jet black pour. Smells like ice cream, oak, vanilla, toffe, caramel, some earthy hops, toasted grain. Flavor is much the same with a more pronounced wood flavor and booze. Awesome beer. keepersj12 (798), 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.
