From the bottle, pours black with a very nice creamy head. Aroma is oak, bourbon, vanilla, and extremely delicious. Flavor is sweet at first, oak and caramel. Tapers off to a roasted and black malt finish. Ends dry and refreshing.

Purs pitch black. Aroma of sweet bourbon, coffee and liquorice. Taste of coconut(!), mild bourbon, roasted barley, coffee and dark and dry chocolate. Super-smooth but at the same time challenging. One of the best beers out there - ever! Will prolly age well.

Black-brown pour with huge mocha head. Lots of lacing. Aroma of oak, light bourbon, coconut, molasses, brown sugar, mild dark fruit, and a little booze. Pretty sugary. Flavor is roasted malt, oak and tannin, coconut, and bourbon. A little woody. Medium-full body. Pretty refined overall. A touch choppy, but should age well.

Half liter bottle. Pours black with surprisingly thick tan head that retains. Aroma is chocolate, bourbon, oak, and dark fruit. Flavor is chocolate, vanilla, oak, and bourbon. Very nice and worth a try, though it’s definitely overpriced.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Aroma- massive bourbon notes, dark fruits, slight chocolate
Appearance- pitch black with brown hues, darker khaki head
Taste- bourbon upfront makes this brew very sweet throughout, dark fruits, roasted notes, booze heat, more bourbon to round it out
Palate- very-full bodied, sipper
Overall- Fairly one-dimensional but good nevertheless. The bourbon is overwhelmingly sweet and sort of dominates everything else going on here. Also, this beer is still a little hot and could do with some more time in the cellar. Good, but not great.

Bottle.
Pours black wíth a huge chcolate brown head.
Nice chcolate and bourbon aroma.
Nice brew with taste of licorice, chcolate, rosted malt and burboun. However a bit to sharp boozyness to get a 4(+) from me.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Rating Old Rasputin XIV. Pours with a five finger dark khaki head that fades to thin layer, leaving a good lace. Black color, no highlights. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Bourbon nose and flavor is sweet bourbon with hints of alcohol. Decent RIS. Way overpriced at $22.99 for a caged and corked 500ml bottle from Beverage Warehouse Winooski, Vt.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours very dark with a small brown head. Nose is big vanilla and whiskey. Some chocolate, some coffee, some toffee and alcohol. Taste is sweet with mild bitterness. Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. Thick body with huge aftertaste.

Bourbon, bourbon, bourbon både smaken och i aromen. Kroppen är kraftig och smaken präglas av mycket malt, bourbon, socker och aprikos (?). Men som sagt är detta en bourbon öl och en bra sådan. Slutsats: mycket god och intressant upplevelse.
