After its release in february 2007, top sail was aged for about 10 months in bourbon casks from kentucky. Top sail bourbon aged imperial porter has hints of chocolate, figs and oak. Cheers!

    This is by far the best beer I've ever drank. It is 100% black and pours zero head. It has so many hints and notes I can't describe it. Except to say the bourbon aroma and taste are very pronounced. It's a shame it's a seasonal beer.

    The barrel aging was minimal and still allowed a greatly complex Porter to shine through. Caramel, cocoa, coffee, vanilla and dark fruits intermingled with a wood and whiskey. Medium bodied, firm and pleasing. I'm glad this wasn't too heavy. Smooth and warming with a delicateness that invited sip after sip.

    From Haggen, bellingham WA. Poured a VERY brown head, which lasted not at all. Body was dark brown, and the high ABV was immediately on show. And, can't you just taste the alcohol as well, albeit in an enjoyable manner. Taste also had some licorice and dark chocolate, plus a suggestion of bourbon. This is a seriously complex flavour. Most enjoyable. Solid mouth feel, and a nice finish. Hugely strong beer.

    falls a little short only because there are so many super barrel aged dark beers on the mrket these days. this was good, but not among the best, and not worth $10 IMO. maybe a little more time in the bottle? the beer aspects from the IP (which i like better than this) are overpowered by the bourbon, and the body is medium to full, but not as smooth as, say, a bourbon county. the aroma was not what i'd hoped. the flavor of bourbon and chocolate nice.

    chocolate and bourbon are the guys running the show, but bourbon is the husband, and he puts his foot down and takes the belt off .. . Pours a jet brown/black, has a pretty big whipped coffee coloured head, lacing is quality for such a high abv brew .. . bourbon is the first thing to hit in the nose and taste, some chocolate and tar also .. . very smooth and easy to drink but the bourbon with make it a sipper, some light heat, but just enough, a year or 6 months would do this brew nicely! .. . i am liking a hell of alot this i think the BA imperial stout was alot smoother .. . if you like imperial porters, and like bourbon aged beers, this might do you just right .. . Stuart Holden is a fuckin badass, hou dynamo 1 chivas 0 at the half .. .
