Rated in 2009. Waxed bomber picked up back at the release pours deep brown with tan head. The aroma is just huge with sweet sweet vanilla and bourbon notes moving into oak, some sweet malts and a modest nuttiness that seems just noticeable. The taste begins with a smooth slick sweet bolt of thick malts and nuttiness. Nearing midway the rich vanilla and bourbon come forward in force followed by a modest oak sensation. Wow! This is sweet smooth big bold and seems to hide all the alcohol oh so well.

Bottle 75/175. Bourbon, nuts, and chocolate in the aroma. Maybe some licorice too. Very dark brown color, looks almost black from the sides, a tan head develops and fades to thin patches. Flavors follow what was picked up in the aroma; minus the licorice, adding raisins (at first I thought this was molasses), and a little roasty bitterness. The bourbon is very smooth and controlled. Easy drinking barrel-aged brew, slightly warming, lacks a little body though. Not amazing but very good and enjoyable.
