    Received this from a friend visiting from Kansas City. Poured into two snifters at cellar temp and noticed how insanely carbonated this was for a bourbon barrel sout. Deep black with a tan/white head and strong bourbon and vanilla aromas. Thin mouthfeel coupled with high drinkability makes it sort of an enigmatic imperial/bourbon stout. Vanilla and oak dominate the flavor profile but licorice and roasted malts are present as well. This is a nice brew, but not top tier.

    i think only because i've had so may elite BB stouts, this is ends up not quite elite...but very good nonetheless. big roasty choclatey stout blends with a subtle at first but then more assertive bourbon. maybe too much peppery bourbon competes with the stout to make this just a touch lower than, say, Rasputin 12 or bourbon county, but it is quite good. probably a one timer given it's scarcity and price.

    Thanks for sharing this bottle Cliff (SDbruboy). Pours wtih a black body with a reddish hue, topped by a medium thick head with some lacing left behind. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a nice roasty note and a hint of bitter sweet chocolate. Medium to full bodied and warming.

    I haven't reviewed this yet? I'm slipping! Dark brown pour, tan head, moderate lacing. Nose is roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and oak. In the flavor, the bourbon isn't a bit shy, but well-integrated; roasted malt still dominates, with coffee/chocolate undertones. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, considering; the finish is warm and smooth with an appropriate bourbon bite. There are some fine bourbon barrel aged stouts in this world; this one's in the middle of the road. From a bang-per-buck perspective, though, this is very close to the top of the heap!

    Bottle 2007 from theisti, bottle 2008 from SL. The pours were quite similar, nice choco-colored head (esp. for an aged beer, perhaps they re-carbonated this thing?) over a deep black body. The aroma was chocolate and chocolate, some bourbon. The flavor followed with the 2008 showing more roast and cocoa-notes, the 2007 more milk-chocolatey sweet notes. The 2008 also had some more oak/wood notes in there, slight dryness to the finish. Horizontals like this are what make me think that the whole aging thing is over-hyped, rarely "worth it." A good brew, tasty stuff, erring only possibly on the sweet side of things. Mouthfeel full bodied, slightly sticky.

    2008: Pours dark with a thin tan head. Aromas of dark coffee and chocolate as expected, but also a back hint of scotch and vanilla. Overall a bit sweet and syrupy, but perfect for a cold night. Warm finish. NICE. 2008 in 2011: WOW this ages nicely.

    From the bottle. Pours an opaque dark brown/black with a thin tan head. Aroma is sweet with coffe, chocolate, and slight alcohol undertones. Flavor is lighter than expected but standard chocolate and coffee flavors. Warm alcohol finish that lasts. A pretty good beer overall. This is the '06 version. Would like to try the '07 and see how it is fresh.

    This was a nice one. A black appearance with a moderate tan head. The aroma is chocolate, coffee and burbon. This was a rather thick stout with some coffee, chocolate, molasses, and burbon flavors. A thick syrupy mouthfeel. A good one!
