Dec 15, 2008 Sampled at FoBAB 2008. Pours darkest brown with a minimal off-white head. Aroma of bourbon and dark fruit. Lots of bourbon in the flavor and it pretty much kills everything else. Probably could have aged longer.

Dec 15, 2008 VRBT. 2007 bottling I believe. Dark brown, little head. Very nice aroma, quite fruity, cocolate as well. Flavor is rich caramel and chocolate, dark fruit and roasted barley. Not at all a bourbon bomb here. Great stuff.

Dec 13, 2008 22 oz. 2008. Smell of light coffee, carmalized sugar and alcohol. Good looking dark brown with a one finger head only if poured aggressively. Taste is the same as the smell but with less of the sweet and more of some smoke. Palate is a fine even richness, not over the top but very nice. Overall it is not a standout but is really a nice brew. Drank the whole 22 oz. no problem and enjoyed the last tasty sip if that says anything.

Dec 7, 2008 Bottle - 750ml with crown. 2008 vintage. Black bodied with mahogany edges. Small tan colored head. Aroma is almost pure bourbon, but has molasses, vanilla and wood as well. Light roasty notes push through also. Taste is pretty much bourbon, vanilla and wood. The roasted malts, chocolate and coffee seem to take a backseat to the bourbon. The body is medium with soft carbonation. Light stickiness. There is an alcohol warmth throughout this beer and the alcohol is very noticeable. Ends with more bourbon, vanilla, molasses, dark chocolate, and light roasted malts. This is a tasty beer but a little too one-sided with respect to the bourbon.
