Jan 23, 2008 Thanks much to Stlwill for sharing. Pours a dark denseoaky brownish black. Very swet boubony nose with a nice dose of floral hoppiness and a nice hint of chocolate and spice. Mouth is kind of thin mouthfeel but very ever present bourbon and chocolate. The alcohol is pretty present and dominating, but a solid beer nonetheless.

Jan 21, 2008 750ml bottle poured in a snifter. SBBAIS pours a beautiful black with a gorgeous tan head. This beer looks noble and delicious. Unfortunately that is where it stops. The aroma is all bourbon. The flavor is like watered down bourbon. There is little to no room for the beer flavor to come out. The mouth-feel is fine, chewy and thick like a great stout should be. The original Schlafly Imperial Stout (circa 2005) was a 4.5+ beer. They totally ruined one of the worlds greatest imperial stouts by going the bourban route.

Jan 19, 2008 (750 ml bottle, 2007) Pours very black with small tan head. Great bourbon, oak and roasted malts aroma. A rich, full bodied brew with long bourbon finish.

Jan 12, 2008 (750ml bottle, 2007 vintage) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of toasted bread, cocoa, light sourness, and watered-down bourbon. Flavor of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, bourbon and light vanilla with a dry finish.

Jan 11, 2008 Lumpfest 2008- Thin black in color with a soapy head. Good burnt malt but no bourbon: are my notes wrong that this was supposed to be BA’ed?

Jan 5, 2008 2007 Bottle: Nice off-white head on top of dark pitch body. Aroma is of alcohol, malt, treacle, and cask. Flavor a bit on the bourbon-y side, though I guess that is what they advertised. Palate is more like Porter than Stout.

Jan 2, 2008 2007 reserve. Way to much bourbon flavor for me. Cover up some possible good flavors? Doesn’t taste much like beer to me. Couldn’t finish this one.
