THE Fruit Sour tasting. Thanks to Bruce for this one. Semi opaque dark brown beer. Little pale tan head. Mile bourbon nose. mild minerals. Smooth dark malts with very slightly sour chocolate. Soft finish. Very nice.

Bottle shared by b3shine. Poured a dark brown color with a moderate frothy light brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy toasted nutty malt and vanilla woody aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy sweet flavor with a medium sweet smooth finish of moderate to long duration. Solid standout brew.

A deep dark porter with a thin brown head. In aroma, a pungent bourbon barrel, wood coming out nicely, wood extract, cork, in your face. In mouth, a tobacco laden chocolate, with molasses, metallic hops, wood extract, a bit too much for me, but a nice challenge. On tap at the brewpub, August 13, 2011.

Bottle… This beer rocks!… Pours dark brown with a small, creamy, khaki head. The aroma offers complex layers of milk chocolate, coconut, vanilla and a nice, light nuttiness. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with tingly carbonation. The flavor is both chocolaty and nutty with a nice kiss of bourbon. Finishes bittersweet and a touch papery. Kudos to biggsbowler for sharing this world class bottle of beer!

Draft. Clear maroon color, solid beige head, solid lacing. Aroma of moderate whiskey, vanilla, Starbucks. Taste is coffe spiked with Jack Daniels. Medium body. Nice.

Bomber poured a clear dark reddish brown with a lasting tan head. Aromas of milk chocolate, carmel, vanilla, light bourbon and a hint of carmel. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of milk chocolate, vanilla, carmel and light bourbon with a smooth lingering milk chocolate finish.

Bottle. I’m nearly sure I have this as a backlog rating from GABF, but I guess a full bottle to ponder won’t hurt. Pours with a near black hue and a very, very large off-white head. Nuts lace. Tons of carbonation on the pour. Aromas are of maple, cashews, toasted coconut, chewy dates, chocolate. Fudge, soil. Flavors are of soil, brown sugar, dates, nutty, marzipan, maple, low roast. Lively carbonation (over carbonated), fuller bodied, low alcohol finish. Quite decent.
