Bottle at Chris O’s HogTownHarry minifest. Thanks to Harry. Thick opaque black with a slim tan head. Aroma of bourbon, peat. malt and sweet caramel notes. Flavour is more of the same but once in the mouth the bourbon becomes a little too much for me. Just a little less and it really could be excellent. Lovely tangy malt but it is all overshadowed by all the bourbon. Still a mighty fine beer though.
hrking (64), Muncie, Indiana, USA Jan 7, 2009 Ive had this a couple times and this is a great bourbon stout.Bourbon presence and chocolate vanilla and some oak as well.Smooth but does pack some alcohol puch. If you are a big stout fan like myself this is a must try for you.. elihapa (461), Hawaii, USA Jan 7, 2009 Bottle, $5.99. This was my treat on vacation in Ojai. Appears jet black, thick, and with little head. Aroma features rich oak, grape felly, Muscat, and an overriding fruit-candy sweetness. Palate is full-bodied and creamy, finishing long long long! Primary flavor notes maintain dark fruit, bourbon, and licorice. Certainly not your everyday Impy Stout experience! Overall, this is a real after dinner sipper. It is extraordinarily powerful, in both flavor and alcohol. I find myself done after 8 ounces. luttonm (164), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 7, 2009 2007/12oz. Deep, mirror black. sheen, no head even after a 12" pour. The night had me whimpering before this, but it was an incredible, memorable nightcap. Bourbon on nose, Bourbon taste. Fresh and incredible. Deep chocolate, espresso and hot. Unbelievably good. So much bourbon and so much taste. Not balanced but why would you want it to be? Extreme in the perfect direction, I’m enchanted. vtafro (6), , New Jersey, USA does not count Jan 6, 2009 On tap at the Ginger Man in nyc. Was a great beer that knocked me on my @$$ at the end of the night, still actually could taste the bourbon flavor the next morning. Furseth (1208), Kungälv, Sweden Jan 6, 2009 Bottle: (Thanx to Otto Lundell) Black colour, allmost no head. Aroma of raisins,dust,Viny(caramelly) Dark Choclate. Flavor is allmost the same here. Big body, and a long bitter/Choclate/Coffee finish. Nice
