ericdevin (289) - Eugene, Oregon, USA - JUN 3, 2013
Bottle from Jason + Elizabeth, bottle share May 2013. Pours opaque, very dark/brown. Nose is bourbon forward, with raisins, spice and maybe cookie dough as well. Rich, sweet and boozy. Maybe cinnamon and cloves? Body is rich and strong, too, finishes sweet and boozy with more dried fruit, lots of complexity. A real winner, can definitely see why the ratings are what they are.

What a beer! Pours black with thin off white head. Aromas of booze up front. Flavors of bourbon and brandy with some roasted goodness. Leaves some good lacing in numerous layers throughout the glass. This is a great beer.

symmetric (34) - - MAY 9, 2013
Big hit of bourbon on the nose; raisins, apples, oak. Very boozy. Pours a deep black, with a thin, quickly vanishing head. Very complex flavour, sweet, with a hint of chocolate underneath. Quite syrupy mouth feel.
