3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
2012 version . Purchased at geers , than ’ aged ’ myself a few months .
Been waitimg to open this one for a long time
Pour is pretty disapointing . Clear , not even that dark brown . in the glass its dark brown , not nearly comparable to black .. Imperial stout ????
Foam is almost non- existent , a very tini white ring ..
Bourbon smell , but no overkill
Soft carbo . Sweet , buttery , bourbon , yet again , not TOO much . Its enjoyable , but as most of the bourbon ba, i almost taste nothing else than bourbon ... I miss beertaste and complexity ..
Edit ; its a barley wine . Makes a lot more sence ! Dont know why i thought this was on ratebeer as an impy ...

4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
May 19, 2013 - 2010 bottle from binnys. Dark brown pour with limited head and spotty lacing. Aroma was bourbon, wood, caramel and vanilla. Taste was caramel, vanilla, wood and an mild alcohol burn in the finish. I really wanted to like this more than I did. Not quite sure I agree this should be classified as a barley wine.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, 2012. Pours cloudy dark brown, small tan head dissipates quickly, some lacing. Aroma is bourbon, toffee, caramel, dried fruits. Flavor is the same, medium sweet, light bitter, quite hot. Full bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Hot bourbon finish. No tartness (yay), but almost un carbonated. Why is that so hard?
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Amazing flavor. Caramel, molasses, raisin, apple, bourbon. Pretty hot, but extremely tasty.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Deep murky brown with pretty much no head. Aroma is bourbon, raisins, booze, hint of chocolate and vanilla. Oily and syrupy mouthfeel, sweet and boozy on the palate but smoother than it smells. Taste is bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, raisins, dates, brown sugar, hint of oak. Quite sweet but delicious! A good after dinner beer.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This beer pours a raisin brown with no head. The nose is raisin, molasses, bourbon and oak. The pallet starts with sweet raisin, followed by bourbon, with a swift kick of oak and finishes with a sweet molasses and brown sugar.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
2012 bottle from the CoOP. Aroma and flavor is mostly consistent with the Brandy version, but this one isn't quite as hot. Bourbon mixes better with the barley wine to bring out the carmel, bubble gum, and toasted coconut. Still rather hot, but great flavor and a great beer.
