Mar 22, 2008 Near black colour, flat and oily-looking. Beefy, oily aroma like Indonesian soy sauce. Soft and sweet with light bourbon nuances. Dark chocolate, minerals, leaves and muscovado sugars on the palate.

Mar 21, 2008 22 oz bomber purchased at Oak Tree. Pours a solid pitch black with a large tight foamy beige head. Aroma of bourbon, vanillla, roasted malts, slight oak and bitter chocolate. Medium bodied that is slightly creamy but finishes with a good amount of alcohol warming even though this is only 8.2% alcohol. Flavor of bourbon, roasted malts, vanilla, and slight coffee. This beer has a long after taste that mellows out and is very nice. I’m glad this one is in a 22oz bottle because it seems to be growing on me the longer I sip it.

Mar 21, 2008 Pours dark black with a thick and creamy brown head. Really interesting piney aroma with a roasted coffee overtone. Equally piney alcohol flavor with a coffee finish. Kind of thin and strong. A bigger body might have balanced the alcohol a little better.

Mar 21, 2008 Pours black with a thick brown head. Aroma is coffee and sweet pine. Flavor starts real sweet and moves to a nice coffee finish. A little too sweet for me in an imperial stout, and I swear there is a hint of paint. Average.

Mar 19, 2008 Black body with a fast disappering light brown head; Quite good but not to big a nose, some burnt barrel bourbon notes other wise smooth and soft; Soft textured body with a slight sour touch, as well as being a little thin, strange combo; Medium long finish where the bourbon aroma appears and somehow makes it a little thin and sharp, slightly sour with an oak vanilla warmth. Not to well composed, somehow it seems the initial beer has been to soft and not big enough for the barrel aging to do good.

Mar 16, 2008 Updated: Aug 11, 200922 oz bottle poured into a snifter has a nice thick one finger head of dark tan. the beer itself is a dark black with lighter carbonation but looks in the glass quite nice. aroma has dark chocolate, malt, light hops, and has a little wood character. mouth feel is so thick and delightful with lighter carbonation and a nice coating on the tongue. flavor is dark bakers chocolate, heavy malt gives thickness, a little roasted coffee, but staying rich and creamy. the wood aging gives a nice flavor with vanilla and oak. a very smooth beer with little bitterness and fantastic balance.
