Jul 1, 2009 [Bottle] shared by STLWill. Pours dark brown with a smallish tan head. Aroma is vanilla, oak, and bourbon, with a touch of roasted malts. Flavor is fairly thin, lots of bourbon, roasty, and a coffee-ish finish.

Jun 27, 2009 Pour is not unlike whiskey but with a short lived tan head and a good amount of carbonation. The wood and whiskey dominate the aroma. Flavor begins fruity and sweet. This is followed by the whiskey and wood flavors. It is full of sweet caramel. Just a bit of hops give a nice little zing. This is an outstanding beer. Nothing is overpowering and everything works well together. Well crafted.

Jun 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice, black color with a brown head. Aroma of STRONG bourbon, molasses, light coffee. Nice mix in the flavor of vanilla/bourbon, coffee and chocolate. Normally not a fan of the bourbon barrel aged items, but this one was quite tasty.

Jun 25, 2009 25 oz bottle. Pours a clear dark brown, almost black, with a one finger tight bubbled beige head that fell to a wispy film. The nose is equal parts bourbon, oak, and Stout. More alcohol than most at 10%, bourbon, char, some vanilla, and a nice chocolate syrup note. The Stout base is actually pretty thin and overpowered by the bourbon on the flavor though. Roasty, vanilla extract, some woody notes, a little burnt, but not acrid. Hefty alcohol kick on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, slightly oily, with a little clinginess on the back end. The light soft carbonation is nice. Overall pretty nice, a bit too one dimensional, but it was fairly drinkable.

Jun 22, 2009 750 ml bottle thanks to emacgee . Pours a very dark brown color with a medium beige head. The aroma is great; a huge bourbon and wood aroma, also molasses and roasted malts, sweet. The taste is great as well; loads of bourbon, alcohol, molasses, roasted malts, a huge wood flavor, and caramel. Very nice. A perfect example of barrel aged goodness. Delicious.
