4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20Fantastic taste and smell of roasted malt, chocolate, dried fruits and liquorice. Together with a fantasticly light mouthfeel, very close to chocolate mousse, this makes a winner.

On tap @CBC13. Black with tiny tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, bourbon, wood and alcohol.. Taste is peaty and boozy loads of bourbon, wood and roasted malts. This should be great in a few years
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Keg @ CBC 2013. The pour’s thick, oily black with absolutely no head. The aroma’s huge sweet bourbon. Plenty of brown sugar-coated wood. Vanilla. Toasted shredded coconut. Raisin cake. Chocolate syrup. THe taste is more of the same. Rocky road fudge. Bourbon sweet accents. More vanilla and coconut. Burnt brownies. Rich and inky body, thick. Loads of sugar. Overall, pretty decadent stuff.

Bottle at home. Roasted malts and some ash. Bourbon-flavor is very present and improves the overall flavor of the beer.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap @ CBC2013. Dark color, short head. Again the typical George aroma of ashes and roasted malts. But then with plain simple Four Roses Bourbon like aroma’s, so lot of cookie and biscuit and not as much vanilla as most bourbons have. It’s ok, but I prefer the ones with a bit mroe vanilla.

Sampled @ CBC 2013. Opaque pitch black color, small brown head. Smell and taste malts, dark and roasted malts, clearly bourbon, just slightly alcohol and nicely sweet-bitter. Lovely beer. Great mouthfeel.

looks the same as the regular version. smells like stout candy... vinous, bs, vanilla, cream, dusty wood and roast. the flavor is the same but it has a sourness like it is going down hill.
