Apr 4, 2005 Oak, vanilla, marzipan, sherry and chocolate in the vinous, fruity and alcohol-laden aroma. Opaque black body with thin cover of brown head that recedes to ring with surprising lace considering the high octane. Chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, mint, oak and fruity flavours with a charcoal-like roastiness in the finish and strong notes of alcohol. Definite warming with medium-full body that feels very dry and somewhat thinned despite the sweetness - a trait I often notice with barrel-aged beers. Hand-bottled from a growler. Snifter, allowed to warm from fridge temp. Enjoyed with Claude, MartinT and Rastacouere.

Mar 27, 2005 Perfectly hand bottled...can you guess who may have done it? Pours a deep mahogany-black with a small tan head. Aroma is sweetish alcohol, bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, peat/scotch, roasty, oak, and some light caramel notes. Taste has lotsa bourbon, vanilla, oakiness, caramel maltiness, and chocolately molasses. Very tasty. This is a full bodied ale to be sure...some carbonation and quite oily. Nice burnt bitter finish. This is definitely one of my favorites. What a shame I can’t hit the convenience store for a sixer.

Mar 25, 2005 Strong bourbon in the nose plus some black cherry and a minimal light tan head. Intense flavor of vanilla, bourbon, tobacco, and oak. This is an exceptional, standout Baltic porter. Bourbon notes may be over the top, but it works very well in this particular beer. Superb hand-bottling job by footbalm. Thanks for sharing this awesome beer, Eric!

Mar 13, 2005 Updated: May 20, 2008Top 50 brew hand bottled by footbalm. Pours oily black with no head. Heavy bourbon through and through. Lots of wine-like character in this brew. Has a strong vanilla/alcohol presence in finish. Almost like an extract taste. Takes a hit in overall because of the huge alcohol/warming burn in the finish. Even though I am a little against the grain on this, still very appreciative for the chance. Thanks again Eric. 3.4...On tap: May ’06, Huge sweet bourbon aroma, not much else. Flavor is all vanilla, bourbon, really sweet and creamy. Long lingering residuel sweetness.

Mar 12, 2005 Pours black as,,, knight? Charcoal and whisky in the nose, chocolate, wood and vanilla notes. No head on the pour but a fine brown head was easily swirled up. Med/full body, chewy. Light bourbon notes, woody, chocolate and roast, lightly vinous, pretty damn lucious. Finish is dry and chocolatey with vanilla notes finishing it off. Thanks Eric! Nice drink, very enjoyable.

Mar 11, 2005 Tap. Looks rather similar to the Rosie (but, of course, darker, not rosy) with the light beige foam. Light sherry sweetness at the first sip, nudged through dark high-cocoa chocolate to the final destination of jim beam. Sweet--and there must be an a$$load of hops here to counterbalance the heavy alcohol ticket. Glad to have tried it.
