Bottle from Appalachian Vintner. Pours back with an inch of brown foam. Nose is of alcohol and dark chocolate. Fair amount of oak and chocolate on the tongue. The alcohol’s there but it’s been muted. Finishes clean. Solid for style.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark cola brown with a very small off white head. The aroma was roasted malts, cocoa, bourbon, vanilla with a hint of wood. The flavor had everything from the nose with the addition of caramel and some dark fruits. Nice balance of flavors and no sign of alcohol.

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured a clear dark brown color with a minimal tan head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate to heavy roast coffee, chocolate, wood and bourbon alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy dark bourbon sweet flavor with a medium to heavy dark sweet finish of moderate to long duration. This is a solid brew.

750 ml bottle to snifter (thanks alexsdad06). Looks good; a dark and fairly opaque cola with beige lacing. Smells Good too; dark malt, bourbon, and vanilla with a sweet backbone. Tastes like it smells, but could be a little more chewy, and I’m getting some coffee in it too. Average on the palate (could use some more viscosity). Enjoyable.

Aroma that of bourbon and vanilla. Appearance dark brown with a tan head taste coffee and bourbon palate long strong and bitter

From a 75 cl bottle shared in Avon NC. Bottled 12M2012. Pours black with a tan head. Light bourbon nose. Flavors of oak, vanilla, bourbon and roasted malts. Medium mouthfeel with light carbonation. Slight bitter finish.

On tap as Silent Night. Dark black pour with burnt wood brown edges and one finger of fizzy light tan head. Tons of bourbon in the nose, dominated by vanilla/bourbon/oak. Straight bourbon in the flavor, unabashedly so. 1 dimensional, warming/smooth. Needs more base beer.

Sweet flavor. heavy body, smooth creamy mouthfeel, sweet finish. Pretty darn good. has a nice balance of barrel and malts. drinks easy for 9.5%

Tap at Black Squirrel thanks to drowland. Pours clear deep cola red. Weaker tan foam. Nose is moderate bourbon, coconut, sweet cake, prunes. Taste is Brown sugar, hazelnut, lots of sugary iced coffee drink. Palate is a tad mealy, some thickness and warmth.
