Apr 13, 2009 12oz. thanks to kp. Shared with a few friends. Pour is oily black with small mocha brown head. Aromas of roasted malts, chocolate, but mainly burbon. Flavor is filled with chocolate, burbon, roasted malts, and vanilla. The only downfall here is the thin body. I would have liked it to be more viscus and chewy. Nice flavors thoughout though.

Apr 13, 2009 12 oz bottle - poured dark brown with small tan head.
Aroma - bourbon, smoke, maple syrup and light coconut.
Flavor - coconut bourbon taste with great balance of caramel, coffee and smoke.
Palate - medium/heavy mouthfeel with decent carbonation. Finish is smooth with smokey maple/cherry aftertaste.
Overall - Fine crafted brew and way easy to drink for higher ABV. and bourbon is not overly done like many other beers aged in barrels.

Apr 7, 2009 Bottle shared with Bman1113vr. Black with a one finger beige head. Sweet cherry smell, syrup, and primarily bourbon sweetness. Tasted very very sweet, the bourbon flavor was almost overwhelming. Also notes of smoke and coffee.

Apr 7, 2009 Bottle thanks to pepsican. Different label, but it still read "Brewer’s Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout". Pours with a fading tan head over a deep black-brown body. Aroma of bourbon, charred wood, vanilla, chocolate, maple and a bit of smoke. Taste is a bit of sour malt, chocolate, wood, bourbon. Finish is a bit lactic, possibly bugged. Watery mouthfeel for an Imperial stout, light carbonation.

Mar 21, 2009 Bottle - Pours deep, deep mahogany with a frothy, quickly dissipating head. The aroma is of bourbon and caramel. The bourbon comes on a little strong and boozy in the taste, but it’s offset nicely by some roasty flavors, molasses, raisins, dark fruit. There’s a lot going on here, but it comes together nicely. A little lighter-bodied than I like in a imp stout, but overall a beautiful beer.
