Thanks to Brad (ygtbsm94) for sharing this!
Muddy amber body with a lightly brown creamy head. Strong, metallic aroma of port, malts, cognac and aged beer (like more than 10 years) with a very sharp edge, so you get this isn’t really aged for more than 10 years. The aroma isn’t very well balanced, although it is quite complex (this sharp edge just spoils any possible balance). Moderately bitter, lightly sweet (caramel) flavour. Subtle and quite nice, but this weirdy edge still continues in the flavour. Nice anyway, but different.

Jul 26, 2008 Pours hazy brown, looks like muddy water. Aroma has strong bourbon notes. Taste is like butter. Huge flavors of butterscotch. Caramel and bourbon flavor as well. Nice thick creamy mouthfeel. Mild alcohol burn. Awesome beer.

Jul 16, 2008 sampled with the phoenix crew... 2005 bottle #171/223 finally opened up by bockyhorsey! pours a hazy brown with yellowy/orange tints and no head to speak of. aroma is bourbon!... oh yeah, and wood, grain (almost like dry dog food), sugar cane/dark rum, sweet and more bourbon-y hotness. definitely sweet on the palate with a big boozy chaser... grainy sweetness, chocolate, golden raisins, vanilla, wood and bitterness, dryness and spice all coming from the alcohol. medium to full body seemingly from the lack of carbonation... very smooth mouth feel (aside from the biting alcohol!).... thanks bill and apparently craig!

Jul 7, 2008 Sampled at Bockyhorsey’s Bocky Bash on 7-5-08. Thank you Bill! Hazy dark amber pour with no head. Rich aroma of carmelized sugar, malt, wood and bourbon. Lots of complex flavors including all of the above and some nutty grain and hops. Smooth on the palate, with a bit of alcohol on the finish. Very good.

Jul 7, 2008 2005 bottle generously provided by Bockyhorsey and shared at the 7/5/08 Bock Bash locals tasting. Pours a hazy burnt orange with zero head or carbonation. Nose is bourbon, molasses, brown sugar and earth funk. Taste has lots of bourbon, caramelized sugar and some hops. Lots of alcohol in this bad boy. Full, creamy mouth feel.
