May 21, 2008 Nitro tap: Wlimington location, Dark in color with a small coffee colored head. Aroma was vanilla and bourbon. Taste was the same, bourbon, vanilla plus alcohol. It was pretty smooth but you could taste the alcohol. Good lacing, thick in texture overall a good beer but not as good as the regular IH RIS.

Mar 14, 2008 Appearance: Simply put, it pours a black, still body.
Smell: Strong, redolent scent of dark malts and fine bourbon, with notes of chocolate, dark brown sugar, burnt wood, and if you breathe in deep, some dark caramel.
Taste: Dark malts with a distinct chocolate taste. Medium sweetness. All the expected bourbon notes are present: brown sugar, vanilla, and wood. Slight earthy bitterness. A roastiness emerges and lasts till the sweetish, warming finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Nil on the carbonation, but this is a handbottle, so whaddya expect?
Drinkability: There’s not really anything to discuss, it’s just plain GOOD.
