| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 7, 2010 Pours black, good sized head, probably due to the Champagne yeast at work here. Aroma chocolate, vanilla, hint of coffee, and some oaky bourbon notes. Flavor matches, with pronounced chocolate and vanilla. Good bit of bourbon there as well, but it meshes well. Coffee falls almost entirely out of the flavor. Nice, although I though the carbonation was a bit much for me. jseifer (5), USA does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Feb 7, 2010 This is a heavy beer in every sense of the word. Big flavor. Very floral, very hoppy, and very high in abv. It’s fantastic if you can get your hands on it. It’s also a night ender. GandGKevin (218), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Feb 4, 2010 Pours BLACK with a creamy brown head. Aromas of bittersweet dark chocolate. Bourbon flavors assault the tongue first which gently gives way to the chocolate which ultimately gives to dark berry fruit on the finish. To quote Shrek "I’m talkin layers donkey". Awesome beer from a great brewery. nickmbeer (15), Maryland, USA

Bourbon stands out in taste along with chocolate, vanilla and molasses. Happy to have experienced this beer. fata2683 (994), Panama City, Florida, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 29, 2010 2008 bottle, pours pitch black with a tall frothy chocolate mousse head. Aroma is sweet cream, light vanilla and black roasted malt. Creamy roasty, lightly smoked malt body with a touch of oats. Some sweet cream and vanilla end with a light bourbon note. The barrel added a nice touch, but did not overpower the brew and I like it.
