Oct 16, 2006 Shared by OhioDad at the Columbus tasting---Thanks so much Scott!!!
This was the highlight of the tasting, and wasn’t a dissapointment at all. The pour was a nice deep, dark brown, with a faint head. The Aroma was full of brown sugar, vanilla, and oak.. The taste was hot, sweet, and full of a ton of malt, vanilla, and bourbon. I really liked the complexity of this beer.

Oct 5, 2006 From the Columbus tasting, shared by Ohiodad. This was pretty much the beer everyone was most excited about...myself included. Darkish brown pour with almost no head. The aroma was full of vanilla, bourbon, coconut and some malt. The flavor had some nice bourbon, chocolate and caramel notes. Boozey and smooth over the tounge, the body feels a bit thinner that the regular version. Awesome stuff!

Sep 24, 2006 2004 bottle #5 of 234 at O’brien’s in San Diego. Apparently it was the last bottle they had. Pours a very dark brown with a nice tan head. Very sweet aroma. Malt and brown sugar dominate. Very balanced flavor. Truly knocked me out of my chair. Oak, caramel, and heavy malt. Definitely one of the best beers I have had. A true treat to have!

Sep 13, 2006 Bottle: Columbus tasting shared by OhioDad!! The beer everyone came for. Brown pour with very little head. Aroma, bourbon, oak, some maltiness. Flavor, lots of oak and bourbon, a hint of chocolate and caramel, some alcohol. Sweet and smooth, highly drinkable. I could easily drink a bottle of this all by myself.

Sep 7, 2006 Clear brown body. Coffee bean and dark sugary rum in aroma. Sweet fruity flavor - apple, pear, chocolate, light maple wood, and a solid core of milky-sweet dark caramel malt. A touch of alcohol in the finish but it’s complimentary to the sweet start. Velvety mouthfeel. A mature, well-blended, malty brew. Good stuff!

Sep 7, 2006 750ml bottle #153 of 234 - via trade with Foolish_Mortal! - thanks Brandon! - Pours dark brown with a light tan head and a fair amount of lace. Aromas of oak, caramel, some alcohol, and bourbon. Flavor is oak, bourbon, caramel, vanilla, some plum and some earthy notes. Palate is very smooth.. Full bodied but so easy to drink with some warmth on the back of each sip.. Like sipping a good bourbon.. Wonderful brew..

Sep 6, 2006 Bottle marked #77 of 234. Small fizzy tan head that mostly diminished, sparse lacing, no visible carbonation, and a brown hue. Malty, caramel, alcohol, sweet, and bourbon. Wow! Flavor was sweet, malty, caramel, bourbon, and light hop presence. Tasty indeed! I delight in this beer style and by my numbers this is definitely one I hope to have another opportunity to enjoy again.
