Dec 16, 2007 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.

Oct 28, 2007 Updated: Nov 1, 2007GABF 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.

Jul 2, 2004 Take a Guiness and a shot of JD and put them together. There you have this beer. Not much class to this.

Sep 26, 2004 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.
