On tap (thanks to___ for breakin’ this out). Plenty of booze and vanilla with a shitload of bourbon. Hard to believe this came from a dry Woodford Reserve barrel. I get some orange in here which I suspect comes from the Cascades.

Nice black pour with a huge great tan head. Great bourbon nice smell. Flavor is bourbon and malt and roasted nuts. No present alcohol. Great thick creamy dense palate with little to no carbonation. Stellar beer!!

May 15, 2008 Draft... DLD’08... This beer rocks!... Pours pitch black with a mid-sized, creamy, khaki-colored head. Fantastic retention. The aroma is of chocolate and sourmash with intoxicating vanilla pipe tobacco and coconut. Full-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and pillow-soft carbonation. Lots of acidic sourmash and mildly sweet chocolate. Very smooth and mellow with no alcohol burn. The wood has rid the Big Black Mariah of any “rough-around-the-edges” aspects. Chocolaty, bourbony, lightly tart, woodsy finish. World class beer!

May 1, 2008 Big thanks for the chance to try this beer! Pours black with a light, lasting tan head. Smell is lightly roasty and big bourbon with not much alcohol at all. Taste is rich, roasty bourbon and super smooth. Very drinkable and no heat from the alcohol getting in the way. Fantastic beer.
