Dec 8, 2008 Pitch black pour with a smooth brown head. Silky body with long lingering mix of chocolate, bourbon, and mild licorice. Mild alcohol shows throughout, but very enjoyable chocolate roasted flavors dont let the alcohol distract from the goodness of this.

Oct 26, 2008 Poured black with a tan head. Good carbonation. Strong boozy aroma with hints of malts, bready yeast, chocolate, and delicious bourbon. Taste was surprisingly mellow given the strong presence of boozy bourbon in the aroma. Notes of chocolate, malts, spice, and vanilla. Long-lingering alcohol bite after each sip. Lingering bourbon taste. Tasty, but wasn’t as intense as I had anticipated.

Sep 8, 2008 16.9 oz bottle, what the hell size is that?? Pours a deep dark brown that is slightly thin looking with an average size frothy light beige head. Aroma is great with tons of bourbon, oak, chocolate, coffee and perhaps a touch of vanilla. Medium bodied with average carbonation and STRONG heat from the 11.6% ABV. Flavor starts off with lots of bourbon, then roasted malts and chocolate take over and an aftertaste of vanilla. Very nicely done and is some real good stuff.

Aug 27, 2008 Thanks to iowaherkeye for sharing this bottle! Poured an opaque black color. The head was tan with good retention and lacing. Smelled of relatively subdued bourbon, chocolate, and vanilla. Medium to full bodied and sweet with mild bitterness. Roasted malt, moderate bourbon, vanilla, mixed spices, and chocolate filled out the flavor profile. Nice beer and not over-bourbonated, IMO.

Aug 26, 2008 Man I’ve wanted this one forever. Thanks joeyherkeye! Black pour with a good sized tan head. Aroma is BOURBON with some caramel as well. Flavor was BOURBON with burnt caramel, chocolate, and some dusty wood. Finishes very boozy, lots of sweet bourbon still floating around.
