| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Courtesy daknole. Pours black as night with a light creamy tan head. Smells of thick bourbon and chocolate, with a creamy oaky vanilla presence as well. real nice. The flavor was was pretty rich as well, very creamy and easy to drink, only 5.5% abv. The bourbon was more of a helper than a dominator, and its chocolate presence was evident. Not overly awesome, but I dont think it was designed to be a big beer with the low abv. Still would drink again. dchmela (1443), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 19, 2009 22oz. wax sealed bomber served in a snifter. Poured a deep brown black with a sparse head. Not a lot of carbonation. Aroma was pretty restrained at first, mostly cocoa. Oak and vanilla came out a lot more as it warmed. Body was a little thin. Starts with some chocolate malt sweetness. I didn’t get a whole lot of bourbon at first, but it came out more as it warmed. Fairly long dry finish of chocolate malt.
I was hoping for a bit more from this. Definitely let this one warm up before you drink it. I set it out for a for a while before opening, but it seemed to improve as it warmed.
