4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20Bottle. Pours oily black with a very darkly tanned head which slowly disappears. Nose is very coffee without being too over the top. Light coconut mingles with salted cocoa while bourbon plays around it all. Perfect balance to it on the nose and taste. Taste is thick cocoa, almost fudge like, followed by a light bitter-sweet coffee note while the bourbon comes in and out. No note is ever too much in this beer. Balance is spot on. Not too sweet either which is a pleasing thing for a beer like this. Coconut under rides the bourbon nicely as it finishes with a little bit of lingering heat. Palate is full and super lengthy. Fantastic beer and it would have to be one of the best I’ve ever had

Bottle at craft ale house. Pours pitch black with no head to speak of. The aroma is not pungent but has light coffee and chocolate. The taste has a nice milk chocolate mix with coffee grind and bourbon.

Thanks Mike W. for the taste. Aroma is great and rich coffee, dark roasted malts, molasses, figs and bourbon goodness. Very easy to drink given the high ABV. Great beer.

Location: Draft at Ginger Man, 4/12/13
Aroma: It has a fairly bourbon nose with some coffee/roast malts as well
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a small head and some light lace
Flavor: The taste is similar to the nose, medium sweet, and without much bitterness
Palate: It has a smooth and creamy full bodied feel, with some burn, but it is still fairly easy to drink
Overall Impression:
Very good stuff. This one hit my expectations pretty much right on. I was glad to stumble upon it on draft at Ginger Man.

Poured a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of roast malt, a little coffee and dark chocolate, dark alcohol soaked fruit. Full body, flavour as the aroma. Could have been a bit more coffee-ish.
