Nov 20, 2008 Draught, ’05 vintage, @ BTAH VSK. Pours cloudy red-brown, with a nose of vanilla, oak, sweet malt - nose is bourbon-y without being quite as up front as some other whiskey aged beers. Flavor back up the nose - big and rich, very port like, with a finish that gets a nice balancing off-dryness from the whiskey and alcohol. Alcohol itself is fairly well hidden. Mouthfeel is big and syrupy.

Jun 14, 2008 Tap at Blind Tiger. Deep amber-brown beer. Thin white head. Aroma is quite nice. Sweet rich caramelly malts, vanilla and toffee with lots of soft oakiness. It’s got a nice balance of rich sweet malts, sweet bourbon. Chewy and toffeeish with good integration of the oak and the beer itself. Nice PNW hops that are a bit faded but still make their presence known. Very tasty.

Dec 9, 2007 Tap at Blind Tiger for VSK night. Flat brown pour, with a big roasty bourbon aroma and much chocolate. Smooth and balanced bourbon BW flavor. A bit of vanilla in the flavors rounds this out. Very hot, but still goes down easy.
