Nov 21, 2009 Imagine a good barrel aged imperial stout that probably isn’t up to the level of the best in the style. That’s Schlafly’s barrel-aged imperial stout.

Nov 14, 2009 750ml bottle from a trade with xmarcnolanx. pours dark brown with almost no head. huge bourbon nose. the flavour was dominated by bourbon but the beer did hold its own in places. im surprised how well the hops held up and balanced what could have been a very sweet finish. not bad but it was also just a glass of bourbon.

Nov 13, 2009 Sampled at FoBAB ’09. Dark pour with tan head. Roasty aroma with some vanilla, caramel, oak and bourbon. Flavor has lots of barrel notes: seems like a lot of vanilla as well. I get a decent amount of bourbon, and some chocolate. Yeah, I’m sure this is the best St. Louis can do.

Nov 13, 2009 2007 bottle thanks to David. Pours dark brown with thin tan head. Light looking in both appearance and body. Nose of roasty malts, brown sugar, vanilla, oak, and bourbon. Not too stout-like too be honest. More like a strong ale with lots of barrel flavors. Not that it’s a bad thing. Still very good, just not very rich or complex.

Nov 11, 2009 2007 bottle. Nice combination of bourbon and cocoa in both the nose and flavor. Mahogany pour...translucent around the edges with a nice latte head. Wish this one was significantly darker and had more body. Oak, caramel, brown sugar and molasses noticeable in this one, as well. Tasty but not on par with the best.

Nov 3, 2009 Not going to lie. I don’t totally remember this beer but whatever. Aroma is of roasted malt and sweets, flavor similar.

Oct 25, 2009 2007 vintage tasted 9/09
Pours pitch black with a big toasted marshmallow head.
Nose was strong of bourbon, oak, chocolate, and raisin.
Taste was hot, boozy, and thin.

Oct 24, 2009 2008 bottle with the immense packaging. Pours black with a small light tan head. Aroma if roasted malt, sweet cereal malt. Flavor is odd- sweet malt, cardboard. No bourbon at all really. This is a mediocre imperial stout and a sub-par bourbon-barrel impy. I’m not impressed.
