Jul 19, 2007 It’s not really quite as good as my ndividual rating numbers would suggest, but it’s great. Black pour with a huge tan head. Nose of chocolate and hops and malts and alcohol. Taste of chocolate and malts and sweet dried fruit and bourbon and bitter espresso and hops with a huge finish. Big in the mouth. Not quite the sum of its individual parts but just great.

Jul 7, 2007 Reminded me of GL BA Blackout stout. It had a olive taste to it, salty and strange. It was pretty good though. A bit of chocolate in there for sure as well as a bit of alcohol.

Jul 6, 2007 Wow, very strong stout. Almost wouldn’t call it a beer, but a light bourbon! Pours dense pitch brown black. Very noticable alchohol in the nose and flavor. What else? Tons of roasted malts, oak notes, chocolate coffee. Just very strong alchohol bite to it. If they toned that down a bit, this would be quite an amazing brew. Not that’s its not already. :)

Jun 30, 2007 RBSG 2007: Bottle thanks to Jordan: Poured dark brown to black with a tan head. Aroma, oaky bourbon, some chocolate and a little touch of spice to it. Flavor, bourbon, chocolate, coffee, still some heat to it.

Jun 26, 2007 [291-20070503] 1ptfloz (2006, c/o jerc, w/ him, blankboy, GregClow, mds). Sweet maple strawberry licorice, overpowering aroma. Dark black brown body with a brown bubbly head. Flavour is vanilla soda bourbon barrel, overly boozy, overly sweet. Rough full body. Disappointingly Not impressive with its overly sweet alcohol.

May 14, 2007 Draught at FredFest2007: Oh man. This beer just keeps getting better.
Pitch black body with a thin brown head that resembles the crema floating on top of a nicely pulled shot of espresso. The bourbon flavor seems to have settled nicely into the background and has been supplanted by more vanilla notes and a hint of coconut. Silky smooth finish leaves a trail of delectable wood, bourbon, cocoa, and vanilla down the throat.
They’re getting harder and harder to find, but if you can convince someone to part with one of these you’ll be in for one helluva ride.
