Jun 5, 2009 Cask at Elysian’s SBW Firkin-Firkin throwdown (vs. Stone "Oaked" IRS). Pours dark brown with minimal head. Roasty malts, chocolate, and oatmeal in the smell and taste. Decent smooth mouthfeel, but not much of a finish. This should have been way overmatched against that Stone, but there seemed to be something a little weird in that cask, so it was close. With conflicting labels at Elysian and no sign of a (non-bourbon) oaked IRS on here, I’m not even sure what that Stone offering was.

Jun 3, 2009 A pitch black pour with creamy tan head and lace. Large roasted malt aroma with light chocolate and coffee. An almost licorish hint with a medium malt bitter and a bit of nice warmth. Medium/full bodied with very nice carbonation.
