12oz bottle. Pitch black. Minimal white rimmed head. Bourbon aroma greets you. Huge bourbon character dominates the flavor as well. Some classic Imperial Stout tendencies, but the bourbon is overwhelming. True to style.

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 13/10/2007 Whisky aroma. Dark coloured strong in alcohol and smooth on the palate with a slightly dry whisky finish.

A friend hooked me up with a bottle. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Both aroma and flavor of bourbon and chocolate. Hides the 9.5% ABV very well and almost seems a touch thin. Little bit of a bitter finish. Very good aroma though, enjoyable.

12-oz. Thanks, Mark! Pours translucent blackish brown with a lacy beige head. Sweet vanilla, bourbon, oak aroma, joined by dark chocolate in the taste.

Bottle. Pours a black body with a tan head. Lactose, bourbon, soy and etoh. Big vinous coffee alcohol. Nice.

Bottle in trade from abents. Thanks man! Pours black with a bit of light coming through and a light tan head. Smell is of bourbon and chocolate. Taste is bourbon, chocolate malt and is well balanced between the sweet and dryness in the finish. Pretty noticeable bourbon flavor in this one and I wish there was a bit more roast and chocolate fullness to the flavor. Medium to thin body for the style though, and medium carbonation. Still a very enjoyable beer.

bottle poured a black in color with a thick brown head that fell quickly to froth. aroma has hot bourbon, roasted malt, coffee, and bitter chocolate. medium mouth feel with light carbonation. flavor has bourbon up front, dark roasted malt, coffee, molasses, and some alcohol heat. dark fruit warmed up and some vanilla popped in. this is really nice but the alcohol could be tamer.
