Nov 4, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours deep brown with some ruby highlights. Head is wispy and beige in color. A good amount of bourbon, vanilla, toasted malts and some dark fruits on the nose, slightly metallic. Flavor also held some metallic qualities with bourbon, toasted malts and nuts with some faint vanilla notes. Finish was a little watery.

Nov 2, 2009 Sampled during MN Tasting 2.5. From a 750 ml bottle, this pours a near opaque dark brown brew with creamy off-white head. Aroma of rich caramel, vanilla, bourbon and some smoked peat. Taste is lightly carbonated, medium bodied with some bourbon, dry pitted dark fruit and some chocolate malt. Finish is smooth, creamy and a slight dry bourbon aftertaste.

Oct 7, 2009 Bourbon and vanilla in the aroma and flavor. Some brown sugar as well. Ordinary brown color. Too much bourbon keeps it from being really good. Another good beer ruined by bourbon.

Sep 26, 2009 750mL bottle from kkearn. Has a very dark color. Aroma is very earthy with some dry leafy barrel. Has some light alcohol and I was picking up even some light bitter hops. A little bit of chocolate in the flavor which is a nice touch. It is still very dry and leafy oak. Its pretty easy drinking cause its dry but has plenty of flavor.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottled. Burgundy coloured. Light brown head. Caramel, spice, distinct bourbon barral notes like vanilla. A bit oaky. Flavour of oak, bourbon, sweetness, caramel, vanilla and some grass and apple. Medium to full bodied. Fruity end with a light spicy touch.
kkearn (994), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Aug 11, 2009 750mL bottle. Pours very deep brown with a bit of a reddish hue, topped with a moderate sized tan head that fades fairly quickly. Really enticing aroma; vanilla and peat meld nicely in the forefront and are complimented by caramel, oak, brown sugar, and some alcohol. Barrel seems to dominate the flavor a bit. Vanilla, alcohol, and bourbon are the primary flavors, with chocolate, peat and brown sugar in the background. A bit thinner bodied than expected. Not bad, but it seems boozier than its 7%.
