Jul 26, 2008 This magnum has been lurking in th fridge for sometime now. My Wife had stted to me on a number of occasions...." D$#& it Steve, are you going to drink this or what?!!!?" Well, the other day I realy did a number on my back, I mean try to twist like a pretzel and tear you back to shreds beyond the limits of Advil/Tylenol PM number on your back. For days I suffered walkin uphill bothways to work and back...in a rainstorm. Until I remembered this magnum of healing elixer stashed in the back of the fridge. So to the rating: Pours a dark tea brown with edges of glass the only translucent part when held to light. Thin yet dense head. Strong Bourbony nose with hints of pear and cherries. Thin drippy legs. Plum fruits (eldeberries?) in center of mouthfeel. Body is sthick and full. Very Bourbony with some dark fruity esters and then steeply decends into a wishy wahsy body of darker malts and a very fizzy finish. I finished the magnum and went to bed for 14 hours. The 12% evivdent from start to finish. My back is still F’d.

Jul 18, 2008 750ml batch 2 via glougoburp I believe or maybe Puzzl, everyone seems to think this is better than batch 1 but I don’t have any way to compare. Pours dark dark brown with a 1 finger light brown head. Nose is sweet and rich with some bourbon notes and some other nice sweet molasses like notes. Taste is sweet and rich and full of flavor and a nice kick. Yummers.

Jul 18, 2008 750ml bottle thanks to kempleton. Shared with zinister and thickerfreakness. Pours black with a tan head and has good lacing. Nose is fruity with bourbon and spices. taste is of bourbon, fruit and wood characteristics. Mouthfeel is medium with carbonation and a warming alcohol feel to it. A complex and very enjoyable brew.

Jul 13, 2008 Thanks to MaltOMeal for this bottle! Shared with MaltOMeal and thickfreakness. Poured a dark coffee color with a bubbly tan head that clings to the side of the glass. Aroma is cherries, bourbon and spices. Rich bourbon flavor with a touch of smokeyness. The rich fizzy carbonation is a bit too much however. Very good drinking beer with a nice bourbon flavor. Thanks bill.
