Black w a small tan head limited lacing... Boozy vanilla aroma oak light bourbon... Lively boozy vanilla oak, very very very one note, the oak/wood/vanilla dominates... Medium full body, doesn’t really linger...

Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma is bourbon forward with nice vanilla...not boozy. Flavor is roasty with light chocolate and bourbon...hint of oak. Mouthfeel is medium and the finish is roasty lingering bourbon. Fairly one dimensional and boring...disappointing.

poured from a bomber bought at sheffields. Poured into a pint glass and pours a deep black with no real head Powerful and rich aromas of black coffee, bourbon, dark chocolate, raisins and malt aromas too. Very good depth, but the tones felt like they were holding back a bit full bodied with a really good feel. Good depth with flavors of raisins, a bit of bourbon, along with chocolate and malts. You get teh bourbon flavor, but not a boozy quality to it A really good bourbon barrel stout. Holds the alcohol very well and has a great feel

Blake pour. whiskey caramel rich vanilla, barrels and burnt oak. Flavor is again burnt oaks bourbon liquor, vanilla, roast, coffee and alcohol warmth. Nice smooth and creamy feel. good brew. a little on the hot bourbon side but nice.

Super dark pour on draft. Nice lacing, but not a huge head. Creamy mouth. Super chocolate taste. The bourbon isn’t overly prevalent. This is some good stuff. Very comparable to GI BCS.

pours black, tons of bourbon/whiskey aroma, with light hints of chocolate. Very smooth, lots more bourbon, and some back end chocolate. Slight coffee after taste. As the beer warms the alcohol becomes a bit more apparent.  This is an impressive brew.

Pour brown black with a tan beige head. Aroma vanilla, wood, chocolate, roast, bourbon. cocoa. Taste cocoa, vanilla, wood, bourbon, roast, toffee, caramel, chocolate, light coffee. MF medium to full body with mild carb. Solid brew good bourbon hit tasty. Thank sevenduffs!!!

Pours an opaque espresso brown with frothy dark tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is a mix of almond, peat soil, alcohol, roasted oats. Very rich aroma. Flavor is mild raisin, brown sugar, molasses, alcohol, roasted hazelnuts. Body is creamy with active carbonation.
