Jan 7, 2009 2008 bottling. Deep brown color with a dark tan head. Nice oily nutty chocolate aroma. Medium body with a silky smooth mouthfeel. Good roasty, toasty, woody, nutty, blackened malt flavors with a bourbon vanilla sweetness. Most tasty.

Jan 2, 2009 750 mL bottle. Poured a deep brown, nearly black with a three finger tan head. Aroma was huge and delicious. Notes of bourbon and vanilla dominate, with touches of chocolate and roasted malt present as well. The flavor was excellent and creamy as well. Strong vanilla and oak present, with a small hint of bourbon. Roasted malt is present in the base, but only as a carrier for the other flavors present. Very full bodied, with only a slight bit of carbonation. This is the best Schlafly beer I’ve sampled.

Dec 30, 2008 750 ml bottle - tried the 2006 (thanks to after4ever) and 2007 (thanks to bvc); 2006 - very slight sour, rich aromas of bourbon, vanilla, chocolate; drinks silky smooth with mildly dry; much more bourbon in this one; 2007 - jet black and a little more syrupy; coffee more noticeable and the bourbon less so; same smoothness; a little more raw with sweet chocolate and bitter coffee; barrel aging not as strong and a touch more in balance; wow, this is a terrific beer

Dec 29, 2008 Updated: Dec 30, 2008Bottle shared by robert at stateline. Oak aroma duh??? Brown in color almost black but lets some light through. Decent head. Taste is alot of oak/bourbon a little overdone. Chocolate roasted malt taste. Texture was thin but not watery. Not bad but not great.... Thanks robert for opening this beer.

Dec 27, 2008 Pours root beer brown with an unattractive light tan head that turns in to a film across the top. Thin in the pour and the mouthfeel. Nose is chocolate, roasted malt and a bit of oak. The flavor is a bit like vinous fruits and some malt astringency. Bitter coffee finish.

Dec 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dense, syrupy black. Yields no head, but keeps a thin lacing. This stout burns like a whisky. Very good warmer.
