Thin tan head thats short lived though there is some spotty lace hangin around. Almost black in color with a nice bit of ruby red edging. Nose is soft, ashy, bourbony, lightly smokey and chocolatey, pronounced coffee aromas, nice roastiness. Med/full body, nice oilyness, soft carbonation, silky. Well gathered flavors, vanilla, roast, coffee and whisky thats just right. Light chocolatey notes creeping in, hint of wood and aspirin, faint licorice notes as well. Put together pretty well i,d say. Finish is surprisingly dry and roasty, lasting, clean. An enjoyable brew indeed. Props to my friend Kymbierlee and whats his name,,,umm,,,ummm,,, oh yeah,,, MOTORTODDHEAD, WTF! for the bottle i received in our last trade. Good folks! Thanks guys yall rock!!!!

Courtesy of Gillard. Pours dark brown with amber edges and mocha head. The aroma is coffee with a backbone of chili peppers, chocolate, molasses and mild burnt malts. The taste is smooth goodness spiking first with a pulse of chili peppers and then quickly moving into chocolate, molasses as well as roasty to burnt malts. This is smooth, rich and deliciously good.

2013 vintage. Pours a very dark brown-black color with a huge tan head that diminishes quickly. Scent is straight coffee forward at first. Tons of fresh ground coffee with sweet bourbon and chocolate notes. Lovely oak and vanilla as well. Taste is just as it smells, and just what I was hoping for. All the great coffee flavors are there that were present in the nose. Sweet vanilla, milk chocolate, and just a hint of toffee and caramel. Roasted malt and roasted coffee. Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Booziness is appropriate here, not overwhelming. Drinkability is high. Overall, this is a wonderful barrel aged offering from CW.

Quite simply, this beer rocks. Deep brown/black pour with minimal head and strong coffee forward aromas and hints of oak and vanilla. Medium bodied and creamy yet extremely drinkable. Flavors begin with cold pressed coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, and a slight bourbon finish. The vanilla really shines in this one.

Another huge thanks to the Wisconsin Beer Mafia for all the tasty bottles. I held onto this one until it could be shared with a good friend, and we both really enjoyed it's contents. A really well made stout with a rich roasted content along with bold coffee and chocolate notes. The barrel aging is complimenting to the overall theme, and is subdued enough not to be the main player. Luscious pour, silky smooth and gone all too soon.

Very deep dark color with minimal head. Scent is quite mild but predominately coffee. Mouthfeel is not quite as full as I would like. Flavors of strong coffee and a little whiskey. I tried this one next to a Goose Island Bourbon County and where these are both excellent beers this one is no Goose Island. Much more coffee flavor and less bourbon. If I were to drink a beer for breakfast, this would be it, top notch.

a phenomenal beer, assuming you are a coffee lover. if not steer clear. coffee is strong enough to cut through the bourbon in the aroma and flavor. big time in the flavor. almost too much, but i love it. deeeelicious.

Probably the beer of Christmas Day. Really easy to enjoy for quite awhile as this is clearly a sipper. The beer poured into my glass a deep chesnut brown (nearly black) with a smallish 1/2" light tan head. The aroma starts out on the dark chocolate side of things then as it warms up the coffee and whiskey really start to emerge. Molasses, tar and vanilla are also detectable.

Tasting this is really the start of this show. Rich dark chocolate, bitter coffee, woody, and vanilla. The oak really stands out the more this gets to room temp. It’s either that or some hops but I get a really woody bitterness, merging with the coffee bitterness and it finishes really, really dry for an 8% impy stout. The whiskey really plays a solid supporting role with this beer, and never dominates in any way. Really an outstanding beer.

To honor pfoxyjohn on his birthday - a beer from the Wisconsin beer guru. Pours a mahogany black with a tight head and nice lacing. Nice sour bourbon aroma with a wet, black coffee and hops. Taste is strong coffee upfront followed by an aggressive a bourbon/sour mash flavor that fuses greatly with the alcohol leaving a good warmth and nice slight bitter finish. John my friend, Happy Birthday - I raise a toast to you.
