Poiurs a thin brown body with a small head. Some malt and bourbon in the aroma. Sweet flavor with some bourbon and vanilla. A bit of sourness in the finish. Thin for the style.

A dark brown beer with a flat chocoalco flavor with a bit of a watery palate. The finish is an odd sourish thing that I’ve never tasted in a stout. Thanks to Jay or Larry?

This dark brown stout is a bit sour. The bourbon is overridden by acid, but the effect is actually pretty interesting and not bad at all, at least if you’re a fan of the Flemish sours.

Muddy red brown with a mild gray head. Smells of oak, cherry, lactobacillus, and grape bubbleyum. Thick chocolate flavor with a strawberry sour. Finish is powdery with more cocoa and light booze. Ap-2 ar-6 tas-4 pal-2 ov-11

Dark brown in color with a relatively thin head that is tan and darkens at the edges. Big, incredibly round, but not complex aroma of sweet malt, milk, and warm, dark fruit. Overall a sourness taints the flavor profile of this beer and allows nothing to show itself properly. It reads ’keep refrigerated’ on the label. Something must have continued to ferment in this that is not necessarily positive to this beer.

Got this in a trade, TheEnemy! Thank you thank you. Pour was black gold. Small tan head. Nose had hints of coffee and roasted malts and hints of wood and bourbon. The first taste was bourbon, wood, earthiness. As this warmed, the carbonation carried coffee and chocolate to all ends of the mouth and palate.The strong coffee taste takes over mid-way thru, and always the lingering bourbon. The complexity is beyond my humble attempt at expressing it. I am really glad to have sampled this brew. This is very well made , balanced and subtle. There is only a hint of the 9.5%.

Bottle: Black with a thin tan head. Not a whole lot going on in the aroma for me, a little chocolate, and a bit of bourbon but not much else. Flavor had some roasted malts, vanilla, chocolate and some bourbon. Medium boddied. I enjoyed it, but I was expecting a little better.
