Jun 25, 2009 Pours solid black with a tan head. Deep roast and chocolate aroma. Smooth bourbon texture with bourbony flavor and dark choc. Great balance between sweetness and rich oak/bourbon flavors.

Jun 21, 2009 Draft. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of hard roasted malt, whiskey, and wood, as well as light notes of smoke. The flavor is very powerful with strong notes of whiskey as well as medium notes of hard roasted malt, and a bit of smoke. Nice - reminds me of the Paradox beer - no wonder.

Jun 9, 2009 MMMmmmm, hmmm! Got this bottle at Sam’s in Chi. Really interesting how this differs from the 12 & 16. Opaque like the 16, more aroma and going on than the 16, but not as coarse (& the 12 isn’t coarse at all - relative) as the 12. Much more silky. Divine. Peaty, malty, roasty in the nose. Boozy again. Opulent. Rich and sort of bitter. Excellent beer. Not a session tho.

Jun 9, 2009 Bottle. This beer was better than the 12 year old. However i don’t believe worth the difference in price. But that doesn’t mean i won’t try the other two versions.

Jun 4, 2009 Wish I had done the 3 of these side by side, but just did not find the opportunity. I found the 16yr to come across the best of the 3, but that was by notes, a side by side would have been top notch. Big thick and sticky pour. Notes of roasted malt, liqour, smoke, vanilla and coffee. Nothing to amaze, especially for the price tag that came along with it.

May 27, 2009 Sampled at the Alexi TN distributor’s tasting; thanks Jim Bird! Tasted alongside the 12 and 16 year. All poured a very dark brown with a very small dark tan head. Roasty, hammy and creamy smooth. Just a little spicier and creamier than the other two. Pretty tasty stuff, the best of the three I thought, just way too expensive.

May 23, 2009 Bottle, at Bellport Beer. I was lucky enough to walk in at the right time. Dave & another customer shared it with me. We drank it right off the shelf at room temperature. Wonderful aroma. Chocolate, whiskey, malt, sweet. Smokey, malty, sweet caramel flavors.
Absolutely a top notch beer. I took one home to savor!
