Black with a good sized tan head. Aroma is bourbon, burnt wood, blackcurrant, coffee, liquorice, chocolate, hint of vanilla. Slightly creamy mouthfeel, great balance of sweet and roasty on the palate, bittersweet finish. Taste is coffee, bittersweet chocolate, graham cracker, vanilla, bourbon, oak, liquorice. I liked this a lot better than the regular Peche Mortel.

Pours an inky black with coffee-cream brown head. The nose is sweet vanilla, smooth bourbon, coffee and licorice. The pallet starts with bourbon, vanilla and oaked bourbon. It finishes with a long dark chocolate, anise and coffee flavor. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Black viscous pour with small beige foamy head. On tap. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, bourbon, vanilla and oak. Taste of coffee, caramel, chocolate, vanilla, slight coconut, faint bourbon and oakiness. Lower carbonation and nice creamy mouthfeel, full bodied. Not a big fan of barrel aging but this is better than the standard peche mortel. Excellent beer!

Pours very dark brown with a thin mocha head that recedes fairly quickly into a thin collar. The nose brings a good amount of oak alongside bourbon and some backing vanilla. Touch of coffee remains along with some chocolate and roast. Flavor is heavy toward the bourbon, and specifically the oak barrel. Background stout is nice, though I think I prefer the base beer. Body is medium and a bit tannic. Not much booze.

À l’oeil : Une mixture brune et opaque sort de cette bouteille, suivie d’une toute petite mousse éphémère. Au nez : On sent du rhum et de l’alcool. En fond, le bourbon et le chocolat noir se définissent. Au goût : Le chocolat y est, le café un peu moins. La chaleur de l’alcool y est moins présente que sa cousine Solstice. La finale est florale et sans arrière-goût. Somme toute, le bourbon est timide. J’ai hâte de l’essayer après quelques mois de repos !

341 ml, bottled 11/2012. Dark brown with splotchy tan froth that frosts with a swirl. Nose is bourbon, coffee bean, vanilla and molasses with hints of chocolate. I was expecting the whiskey and coffee to clash but the blending was handled perfectly. Smooth and creamy with a tang. The sharp roast of the regular version beautifully tamed by the oaky barrel. Taste is coffee, bittersweet chocolate, a kiss of bourbon and a dash of black pepper. Great crafting.

Bottle at RBJG#2 - Grand Tasting Tim’s Place. Pitch black - brown head. High coffee, whiskey, boozy, dryness, wooden, acid, lovely coffee, sweet body, wooden, some glue notes, peppery notes. Lovely.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2013 Bottle with bill and franl, pours black with medium khaki head, not lasting. Aromas and taste of hershey bar, green pepper, oak, toffee, bourbon, dark fruit, molasses. Medium to fuller bodied. Rich and luxurious stout with a earthy palate and creamy texture. Thittt

Thanks, Tommy. Dark brown body with mocha head. Loads of woodsy smoky aroma, nuts. Taste of dark chocolate, coffee, and a hint of bourbon. It’s really the aroma that is affected by the barrel aging here I think. Excellent beverage.

Bottle shared with northropfrye. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and oak. Deep cherry tinged black with coffee coloured head. Tastes of coffee, chocolate, bourbon, richly developed flavours. Absolutely wonderful.
