Apr 18, 2009 Had this one bottled, thanks Slothgar! Clear, dark brownish red pour with a persistent tan head, plum, cherry, sweet malts in the nose; balanced with merlot, raisin, spice, malt. This beer is crazy good.

Feb 3, 2007 Pours a clear deep brown, with lots of carbonation and a good 2" head of light tan foam. Spotty lacing. Some bourbon in the aroma - yeah yeah, that’s what I expect.
Taste - hmmm... oak and vanilla and caramel and (surprise ) bourbon. Seriosuly though, I really am surprised at the flavors I taste - apart from the bourbon, that is. I admit I’m not a big bourbon beer fan, but this one really has a lot of other stuff to offer. Almost medium body, almost creamy mouthfeel, Just *that* close to being exceptional.

Mar 17, 2005 Tastes similar to the Beamish I had earlier today. Gotta love St Patrick’s Day. Best Holiday Ever!

Apr 1, 2002 Reminds me of some of the local bock beers. Just add some roast barley and black patent and you have a dark beer, A dry beer throughout.

Mar 21, 2002 Not much flavor here. Very dark colored, thick foamy head. A bit of a dissapointment for a Schwarzbier.
