Dec 6, 2006 Pours close to black with a dark tan dense head. The aroma has dark chocolate, vanilla, roasted malt, a bit of bourbon and light alcohol traces. Medium / full body with a good amount of soft carbonation. The flavor starts with lots of chocolate, roasted malt, light sourness and even some light berry notes. The finish brings out some more bourbon, roasted malt and sourness that lingers. A good impy stout, but there are significantly better available.

Nov 27, 2006 22 ounce bottle from Thiachili. Black as black can be. A lasting whipped brown head. Aromas of roast barley, oak, vanilla, whiskey, dark chocolate. Medium whisky and oak flavor. Also some char, vanilla and dark malts. Palate is oily and slick. Roasted bitterness in the finish. Pretty avarage.

Nov 8, 2006 Big beer, smoky and sweet with a ton of oak. This is somewhere between a smooth red wine and beer. Not exactly bursting with flavor, but what’s there is enough. Alcohol isn’t noticeable. Svelte big black body, head is disappointing though, even when poured hard.

Nov 6, 2006 12 oz bottle via kramer17801 (thanks!). Pours a pitch black with an average size tan head. Strong nose with notes of bourbon, anise, chocolate. Taste is the same. Watery mouthfeel and surprisingly thin body.

Nov 3, 2006 Blind rating, American Beer Tastings at Sk8viking´s. Pours black with a tanned head. Smells of oak and coffee. Tastes of oak. Hint of band aid. Also some coffee but in a week and boring way. Otherwise nice.

Nov 2, 2006 Black body with decent tan head. Aroma is oaky with some bitter hops. Oak flavors are nice but the rest of the flavors... chocolate and roasted malts... are a bit mild. I may just be a sucker for oak but this is pretty tasty.

Nov 2, 2006 Thanks to DocLock for this. Pours black with a faint head. Initial aroma was of bourbon and a hint of chocolate. The flavor has a mix of coffee, bourbon and coca. None of it is overpowering. Pretty good.
