2008, poured black with this tan head. Aroma of chocolate bourbon and hints of vanilla. Aged perfect! Taste is velvety smooth chocolate, vanilla all blended awesome with a rich bourbon backbone. Carbonation is spot on with a thick body to hold such a complex taste. Awesome! Wow. Thank you Foppa!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours pitch black with light brown head surprising amount of carbonation given the percentage. Aroma is Bourbon, hints of chocolate and hops.
Taste is creamy chocolate, caramel, dark malts and fruit and of course Bourbon.
I feel the Bourbon overpowers it thats almost all I got in the aftertaste its like an imperial stout with a shot of Bourbon inside. Good, not great.

Bottle acquired through trade - thanks Kevin! Aroma big bourbon, chocolate, smoke, vanilla. Pours viscous, near black, no head, no lacing, just viscous black bourbon. Taste: nice bitter finish, chocolate, smoke, big sticky sweetness. Viscous, sticky texture, full body, practically no carb. Overall: meets expectations. Fantastic.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
2012 Vintage. Pours BLACK into the glass with a minuscule tan head that fades quick without any lacing. Aromas are Barbecue smoke, licorice, bourbon, wood, caramel, chocolate and alcohol. Flavors are intense and satisfying; sweet bourbon notes, acidic roast and wood hints, creamy chocolate, pain perdu, molasses, toffee and just a touch of coffee all stacked on top of a nice lingering warmth that spreads in the mouth and down the throat. The palate here is awesome, thick and rich with a noticeable heaviness on the tongue and a big chewyness to it. Overall, this is one of the most solid, sipping beers I have ever had. A wonderful drinking experience that only gets better as this warms in the glass.

2012 year edition, 330ml bottle. Pitch black and oily. Complex, with notes of burnt malt, bourbon, dark chocolate, alcohol and red berries. Quite nice already, but will probably get better by age.
