3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: JUN 15, 2008 A black beer with a brown shine underneath a brown head. The aroma is like a well made cappuchino - coffee and chocolate, but also with more beery notes of malt. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of coffee, but also light notes of bourbon, leading to an end, that is dry and roasted with notes of coffee and wood that lingers for a long time. The alcohol burns lightly in the throat.
4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: OCT 9, 2006 (Bottle 65 cl) Pours a dark brown - close to black - with a creamy, off-white head. Extremely oaky, bourbonish aroma. Full-bodied with tons of roasted malt that never leaves the typical ashy accents most often found in Imp. stouts. But the flavours are bourbon, bourbon and yet more bourbon. So it’s right up my alley, but will probably put many off for the same reasons. Dry finish without much bitterness. Tasted at the Oklahoma Beer tasting March 06 hosted by mjames and lilannie. 240306 and 061006

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: APR 10, 2011 2010-12-07, bottle from Magnum Cigar PHX in 2009, 8-4-7-3-15=37
The color is more dark brown than black; the head is short lived. It has a very nice aroma of coffee and vanilla oak, leather. The body is much leaner than expected for such beer; there is a strong flavor, with caramel, chocolate, tobacco, some liquorice, moderate sweetness; some alcohol can be perceived in the end. Pleasant, and quite outspeaking, but without elegance.
2010-04-01, tasting at Papsø, Brewmaster Reserve 2009, 8-4-8-3-16=39
Black color; small-sized beige head, with little retention. Very nice aroma, with Bourbon vanilla, roasted malts, tobacco. Good body, dark caramel flavor with an immediate vanilla kick; the body is not very strong, there is a light liquorice and tobacco touch; the final is too simple for such brew, still with the vanilla and tobacco, but weak.

Very dark brown. Rich, balanced aroma between smooth bourbon notes and chocolatey, coffeeish malts. Soft, caramelly body with light coffee, hints of vanilla and wood. There is also a bit of alcohol heat. Quite seamless and flavourful, well-balanced. One of the better renditions of this concept.

(Bottle) Pours a dark brown body with medium-sized creamy tan head. Aroma of vanilla, bourbon, light black licorice, and some dark fruits hidden underneath. Flavor of bourbon, vanilla, rich chocolate, caramel, nuts, and roasted malt. Well done.
