(Trade w/NyBeer) Orangy tan head. Falls fairly quickly. Sugarly sweet aromas of orange and vanilla. Flavors of cocoa powder and boubon. Body is average to slightly thin. Warming in the back of the throat. Not quite a sipping beer, but not quite your regular drinking beer either.

Big thanks to fishingnet for binging this treat. Beautiful pour of deep blackness and dark mocha head. Great looking brew. The aroma is bold raisins, plums, some chocolate, mild molasses, toffee and vanilla. The taste begins with raisins and prunes then moving toward molasses and velvety smooth chocolate. Beyond midway some booze rises up with a resurgence of raisins, prunes and fig goodness. Very nice stuff indeed. Just delicious. Thanks Ben.

Bottle thanks to Dmac shared at Anchorage Dec ’14 Tasting: Poured black brown with light brown head. Aroma is sticky sweet booziness and rugged malts that stick to the nose. Taste was sweet chocolate, vanilla, very malty, and very lively on the palate.

Notes from 9/26/14 BK Black Ops '08 vintage 10.7% abv. Adorable Duck Rabbit snifter. Cork spares my eyes, but still had some kick. Slick, espresso head. Matte black body. Head lingers & coats the glass on every spin. Smells of sharp, charred malt & burnt toast. A bit vinous. Rich bourbon glaze. Cigar smoke, dark chocolate, black coffee, burnt sugar. Tasty. Oxidation is starting to show though. Wood ash, burnt bbq, some slight edges of dark fruit peaking through. Pretty dense, creamy body, just barely cut by some beady carbonation. Still pretty boozy after all these years. Waxy. Thanks for the gift Al.

Big Bottle. Colour - a very black pour with a huge creamy golden brown cap and excellent lacing. Aroma - dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, licorice and molasses. Mouthfeel - full bodied, very creamy, well carbonated. Flavour - sweet molasses, bitter coffee and dark chocolate. Scrumptious!

Woah! Pours deep dark black as used up motor oil with a small tan head ringlet. Bourbon dominates the nose along with vanilla, chocolate. Flavors follow the aroma - all around very nice and drinkable. Good stuff!

So I drank this with three friends while watching UFC so I was very distracted then when i finished my beer and i drpoed my phone and thought i lost the entire review and there is no way in hell I’m spending 40$ on this again, but here we are five days later and I found the review hiding on my phone. Black, black, brown body with a nice tan film. Aroma is so very mild.... some ash, sweetness almost berry, its good but not 40 bucks good. Burbon is kind of in the taste but faint. Big ash, chocolate, sweet but no flavour to add. What am I tasting???? So much but no names. Chocolate, hints of coffee, why so sweet...... why? How can i possibly consintrate on this review with Overeem and Bigfoot about to kill each other. Soooooooooooooooooo over priced, but dam tasty.

Pours dark black with a creamy chocolatey, very active, two finger head that dissapates nicley, nice lacing to. Aromas center around the barrel aspects, lots of burbon upfront, follwed by dark milk chocolate and black coffe notes, vanilla and charred oak.Flavors are nice roasty notes laced with burbon all with some underlying chocolate an barrel character. Although there is plenty of barrel goodness here I really like the way it doesn't overpower the other flavors, this beer is nicely balanced.Mouthfeel moderate creamy carbonation, velvety with a dry finish that leaves a very nice chocolaty, caramely, vanilla burbon oak aftertaste. Nice Brew.
