3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
[4860-20121013] Cask. Mild roasted wet leaves aroma has a light floral note. Hazy, brown black body with no head. Vanilla oaked barrelly flavour. Full body is quite sneakily boozy. Interesting balance but just taste the barrel characteristics and not much of the underlying beer. (7/3/7/3/15) 3.5

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Beaus private order group. Infused coffee and some decent bourbon barreling. The coffee was big and syrupy. A good aroma. Light coffee coloured body wih some bubbles. A little corn, a touch of heat in the finish (not a bad thing). Decent for a coffee beer, but not all that drinkable for me.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
2012-10-13. Very dark brown body, small beige head fades. 3+ Odd aroma, bourbon/coffee combines for a green almost jalapeno like quality but without the heat. 7+ Flavour is relatively bourbony and alcohoholic, modest coffee roast, light jalapeno/vegetation green quality as in the aroma. 6+ Smooth medium bodied palate. 3+ Not really to my taste, but okay. Cask at Pre-Cask Days Event, Bellwoods,Toronto
2.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Cask at bellwoods, the smell of this was really nice, a good solid bourbon smell and it was carmel and vanillia in there as well, the flavour was very harsh tho, it was bourbon in flavour and that was about it, there wasnt much other flavour to mix with the bourbon. Didnt notice much coffee, maybe a light roast. Overall it was an okay offering
