4.5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 wnewberr (100) - Huntersville, North Carolina, USA - OCT 26, 2012Strong bourbon aroma which I love. I think it is lacking in body a little and the bourbon flavor hides the maltiness. Pours with a short-lived but beautiful head.

Great beer. Pours a black color with slight cinnamon head. Nose of some chocolate and bourbon. On the taste, the oak comes through - as well as chocolate, with a slight touch of bourbon on the finish. Well made, really enjoyable.

Corked and caged 375 ml bottle. Pours pitch black with a small brown head that fades quickly and collects at the edges. Grabs the glass very well. Aromas are charred wood, ash, whiskey, and light raisins. Pretty smooth taste, lots of charred wood, some cocoa, raisins, light whiskey. Flavors blend well together. Thick body and an oily, chalky mouthfeel. Smooth, whiskey and dark roast finish. Overall, pretty solid, would probably age well.

Decent and easily accessible. Pours black with tan head. Smells of slight bourbon and oak. Light carbonation with a medium body. Light bourbon and oak, raisns, and toffee. Not my favorite but still good. I prefer dragons milk.

pours a opaque black with a huge tan head.considerable thick lacing all around my snifteraroma is slightly smokey from the charring on the oak barrels with coffee,vanilla,chocolate,and wood and the bourbon is extremely faint.flavor has a hint of smoke with coffee,vanilla, and expresso.once again bourbon is there but very faint.highly carbonated with a low end of a medium body and a creamy slick mouthfeel.finish is a pleasant bitter finish.only a few things I can say negative about this.body is slightly thin.but it doesn’t diminish from the drinking experience.and the lack of bourbon in a bourbon aged beer.other than that this beer is absolutely delicious and has a very pleasant appearance and aroma.top notch
