Smuttynose Jack Daniels Oak Aged Robust Porter

On Tap at Coles (Buffalo)
Appearance: Dark brown with black tint. Creamy contrasting ring. 3+
Nose: Strong prominent aroma of Jack Daniels. Oak chips , alcohol with chocolate cake.7+
Flavor/Palate : Medium full bodied. Middle is lighter but still filled with oak character of barrel. Jack Daniels all the way. slight tart dryness at finish. Good sipper.

Draft at Cole’s in Buffalo. Close to Black with a thin, creamy beige head. Bouron aroma with roast, vanilla, and a hint of coffee. Full, smooth body. The initial flavor is sweet bourbon, which gives way so vanilla and woody notes. The finish is long, with a very nice roasted coffee bitterness. Very good.

[1610-20080816] Tap. Whiskey malt aroma is pretty much all whiskey. Dark brown black body with a medium-lasting creamy light tan head. Lots of vanilla wood whiskey malt in the flavour with everything seemingly roasted in a wooden barrel. Full body. Super boozy.

Aside: I totally read jerc’s rating as "still a diva with an eye to the marquis" - which is way off, but very funny...

2008-08-16. Pitch black body with a small creamy tan head. (3+) Rich sweetly vanilla aroma only hints at the bourbon at first, rather nice. (8+) Tons of vanilla bourbon in the flavour up front, a brief glorious ’Wow this is good’ guitar-solo moment of vanilla over chocolate and rich malt, before a swift bourbony smack to the head. Tease! Smooth medium bodied palate is creamy and only lightly carbonated. (4+) The barrel blends fairly well with the base beer and is probably one of the most enjoyable barrel aged brews I have had,but the bourbon is still a diva with an eye to the marquee. Ultimately it oscillates between sophisticated and crude. On tap, Coles, Buffalo

Tap at Blind Tiger. Bourbon, vanilla in the aroma. Thick, milky, nut flavor, gin, botanicals. Run of the mill bourbon stout. I prefer the normal Smuttynose porter by far.
