On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Pours an opaque black with a full-lacing froth of rich dark tan head. Sweet dark caramel, chocolate and bourbon nose is quite enticing. Body starts with good, rich viscosity for a sweet stout and low amounts of carbonation with a smooth, creamy dark chocolate and bourbon finish. Great balance and flavor with good drinkability.

GABF 2007: Poured black with a beige head. Doughy aroma. The flavor had a light roasty, fruity and doughy. the barrel was fairly light.

@ brewpub and hand pulled. Black with a creamy tan head. First bourbon, mild but there, aroma followed by vanilla, hazelnuts and roasted malt. Roasty with a bourbon middle. Vanilla at the end. Light tartness. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel.

Take a Guiness and a shot of JD and put them together. There you have this beer. Not much class to this.

The menu noted that this stuff inherited the pepperiness of its bourbon infulence - they weren’t kidding. Starts with caramel-sweet roasted coffee and quickly swithces over to a remarkably strong peppery liquor taste. It’s not like i’m drinking some sort of wierd peper drink, but the flavor is much more evident than in other bourbon-aged beers I’ve had. There’s actually not a whole lot to this beer. It’s a creamy stout with a peppery liquor influence. I don’t like it all htat much because the sweet and roasty flavors aren’t that strong and the pepper reminds me of drinking some brandy when I was a little kid.
