Bottle courtesy of dkachur. Thanks Dan! Batch #2. Corked and caged. Black bodied with a brown head. Nose is vanilla, wood, cocoa/powdered chocolate and roasted malts. Taste is malty, chocolaty, bourbon, soft wood and vanilla. Very creamy feel. Medium overall. Ends with more bourbon, vanilla, wood, chocolate and roasted malts. I need more of this!

Jul 3, 2008 Richmond Gathering. Batch #2, C&C 750 shared by dkachur. Black with a brown head. Baking chocolate nose, some dough and oaky vanilla. No bourbon, at least that I could detect. Bold chocolatey flavors, bitter yet refined, dry, powdery chocolate finish. Nice!

Jul 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours a black body with a dark tan head. Aroma is peach, sweet malt, citrus and starfruit. Flavor is peach pit, sweet malt , absence of oak or bourbon. Moderate warming and tons of fruit and wood. Very strange beer.

Jun 27, 2008 750ml bottle. thanks andrew for sharing!.... close to black pour with a semi-thin light brown head.... aroma was doughy with a further emphasis on fruitychocolate with a large yeast component. very little in the way of bourbon, if any at all.... flavors of sour dough, chocolate, yeast, and a hint of bourbon. mild carbonation with a pretty nice mouthfeel. this one reminded me of Black Ops for some reason and therefore is getting a similar review.
