This poured a mury darker brown color with a small tan head. Aroma wasof coffee, whiskey and tart cherries. Flavor was a bit astringent, and tart from the cherries, some green coffee flavors, light roast and chocolate. Reminded me a bit of duck rabbit the end of reason, but with less tartness and more roast.

Tastes more like a wine than a beer. You can taste the alcohol that the beer is aged in. No carbonation at all.

This glorious beer pours a dark thick black with a huge dark tan head. Smell is very sweet lots of vanilla with some roast. Taste is nothing like wake and bake. Only a little bit of coffee mostly sweet. Very rich like butter toasted vanilla beans sprinkled with dry coffee grounds.

8/24/11. On tap. Opaque black pour with a nice thick, creamy tan head that sticks around and laces quite a bit. Huge bourbon barrel aroma on this puppy - oak, vanilla, buttery coconut, coffee, roast, and more whoa buddy. Huge bourbon barrel flavor as well - delicious vanilla, wood, and coconut on top of the awesome roasty and coffee filled deliciousness that is Wake n Bake. Very nice.

A-jet black in color with a thin tan head of what actually is created.
S-the nose has roasted coffee with notes of whiskey and lots of sugary malt sweetness adding plums and cherries. rather sweet.
T-light notes of coffee with hints of whiskey and a ton of malt sweetness. the coffee and strong dark fruit sweetness don’t make a great combination and there really isn’t much else happening.
M-this is thinner than I would have liked and falls off in the back lacking carbonation but does have a smooth and creamy feel to it.
D-not bad but rather simple in flavor profile and the barrel aging has thinned this out too much while not imparting much flavor.
