UPDATED: DEC 23, 2022 From bottle on the train from London Bridge to Gatwick 23.12.22. Dark brown. Brown head. Strong aroma and taste of vanilla, coffee, dark chocolate, bitter pine, grapefruit, roasted malt, sawdust and prunes. Solid bitterness in aftertaste. Very good! Well balanced and surprisingly drinkable.

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2022 Bottle from a gifted Prairie Noir gift pack Christmas 2022, at trailer; thought I’d already tried this one long ago - Black pour with fleeting tan foam. Very nice rich vanilla bean, chocolate fudge aromas with mild spicy whiskey wood barrel. Smooth medium mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Earthy herbal vanilla, dark roast, milk chocolate flavors with a tangy wet wood, whiskey barrel finish ___ nice holiday treat

UPDATED: JUL 11, 2022 Bottle sample at a Yana's tasting at troubles' place. Black. Vanilla, lots of chocolate, whiskey, some acetaldehyde, soy sauce, alcohol, sweet and umami, boozy.

UPDATED: JUL 5, 2022 Bottle. Black beer with a low tan head. Caramel and light whiskey aroma. Caramel and whiskey flavor with light vanilla and light molasses. Fuller bodied. Caramel and whiskey linger with vanilla, light coffee, and light molasses.

UPDATED: AUG 31, 2021 Black with a minimal light brown head. Aroma of wooden barrels, vanilla and chocolate sense. Sweet with a warm wooden barrels and vanilla ending.

UPDATED: MAR 30, 2021 Whisky barrel aged vanilla stout by Prairie – strange that the word ‘Bomb’ seems to be absent here… Thanks to Steve for sharing! Medium thick, yellowish grey-beige, thin and open head on a black beer with thin burgundy edge. Aroma of indeed vanilla and very pronouncedly so – vanilla ice cream and vanilla beans, next to milk chocolate, Drambuie, mocha ice cream, hot chocolate sauce, espresso, fig jam, coffee cream, whisky. Dense onset, candied dates, burnt currants, light umami touch (teriyaki), soft carb, very full, oily and syrupy body, ‘heavy’ layers of toffee, pecan nut paste and dark chocolate aromatized by very clear and lovely vanilla, mocha ice cream and Drambuie effects in the finish – with gentle woodiness, warming whisky and a beautiful bittersweetness lingering. The whisky barrel ageing does not overshadow the actual vanilla here, maintaining a general ‘desserty’ feeling to it – this in itself is quite an achievement in this genre of stouts. Bit sticky and tiring in the end, perhaps, but as a luscious, ‘fat’ and opulent pastry stout of sorts, this certainly delivers what it promises – as is usually the case in these strong Prairie stouts.

UPDATED: MAR 2, 2021 W zapachu wanilia i czekolada - ta wanilia ani mocno beczkowa, ani aromatowa, powiedziałbym że taka naturalna wanilia. Bardzo przyjemnie aromat. W smaku podobnie - wanilia, czekolada mleczna, kakao, praliny, posmaki drewniane - czuć ewidentnie beczkę, choć nie jest na pierwszym planie. Lekkie grzanie od alko, długi finisz, solidne ciało i przyjemne faktura. Pyszne.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2020 Bottle. Moderate toasted, molasses and dark chocolate for the malt, no noticeable hops, light dough for the yeast, with vanilla, soy sauce, and toffee in the background. Head id is fizzy/frothy, light brown, with no lacing and fully diminishes. Color is very dark brown, almost black. Flavor starts moderately to heavily sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes heavily sweet and and faintly bitter. Palate is full, between creamy and syrupy, with soft carbonation and a moderately alcoholic and sticky finish. Really nice drinking/sipping Flavored Imperial Stout. A great winter warmer.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2020 Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight tan head. Aroma of burnt malt, chocolate and vanilla. Quite full bodied. Flavor is burnt malt/treacle, chocolate, earth, vanilla. Hints of oak, and, with time, whiskey/heat is detectable. There's a lot going on here. Whiskey gets better and better with successive quaffs. This is very nice ale.
