3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Clear medium brown. Not really any head. Aroma really is just straight up bourbon. Flavor is surprisingly of rather rich malt, not overwhelmed at all by bourbon. Finish moves nicely into integrated bourbon and oak notes. Really ver balanced and well done.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On bottle at the 2010 installment of Stogies and Stouts pouring deep copper – sort of brown-ish with thin tan head. The aroma is chocolaty and then picks up large sums of whiskey-ness as well as a light sense of wood. The taste is sweet and kind of bourbony with a little bit of wood along the edges. It then picks up notes of sweet malts sweetness, a thin layer of molasses and then more and more sweet and mildly harsh bourbon booze into the finish.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle thanks to kp: Pours a transparent copper amber with a small, spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty complex caramel and vanilla bourbon with a touch of black cherry fruitiness. Starts with pretty good fullness for the style and sweet dark caramel maltiness and doughy nutty notes with nice oaky bourbon and vanilla before a drier, toasty finish. A nice bourbon brown ale.

Bottle @ Dunedin for Stogies and Stouts ’10.
pours copper/brown, no head.
Aroma lots of bourbon in this one, barrel/wood aroma, roasted malts and caramel.
Flavor, lingering bourbon flavors and oak barrel. Light malty palate with hints of nuts. Sweet caramel with a mild coffee finish. Thought the palate was a little too thin for 9% abv.
