Black pour, minimal head. Can smell the bourbon in this easily. But there is something underlying i havent had in a good bourbon stout, kind of an astringent sour funk to it. Lasts long on the aftertaste. Kinda turned me off on this one. Otherwise has all the big bba stout notes. But doesnt compare to the big boys like bcbs and blacknote.

Bottle from trader, pitch black pour with a great tan colored head. Outstanding aroma of barrel, lots of dark fruit, almost some grape, nice booze backing. Taste is some barrel, bit of chocolate and some dark fruit, killer woody finish, wish the body was a bit thicker.

4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
During RBWG 2013. Shared by me from a trade and I’m blanking on who I got it from... sorry! Rich black pour with a small tan head. Really nice BA going on here - rich fudge, coconut, vanilla, wood, whiskey, and everything I like - on top of an already stellar stout. Rich BA flavor as well with that great stout underneath adding plenty of chocolate, char, and coffee. I really liked this stuff and when I met Chuck at the CBC in DC, I told him and he said they’re making way more next time around! SCORE!

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Viscous black pour with a dense, persistent tan head. Bourbon and chocolate upfront, followed by hints of smoke, coffee, a lot of figs, raisins, and cherries. Creamy, smooth, and full-bodied - though just a hair thinner than I expected. Boozy and bourbony, with a long bitter finish.

bottle. Pours black with a little rim of suds. The aroma is almost refreshing. I get a little bouron in the nose, but more dark cherries than anything, a very unique aroma. The taste is a little light on the bourbon side. A little over carbonated for me. The alcohol is hidden well. It is a good stout made better.
