Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Aug 30, 2009 On draught during the Great Taste of Midwest 2009. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thick tan head that has nice retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of light coffee/mocha, milk chocolate, vanilla, and molasses. Taste is medium to full bodied, flavors of toasted dark malt, chocolate, vanilla, and bourbon. Finish is quite smooth, more chocolate than coffee with a decent bourbon profile. drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 13, 2009 Tried at the 4th Annual Festival of Iowa Beers. Creamy & sweet with touches of vanilla (oak) and a dash of bourbon. Lingering coffee, but not much... lacking complexity. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Sep 1, 2008 Draft at 4th Annual Festival of Iowa Beers and at GTMW ’08. Black with ruby highlights and a brown head. Smelled of bourbon, molasses, vanilla, and toffee. There was also a whiff of cola. Medium bodied and semi-sweet with bourbon, vanilla, and milk chocolate flavors. A bit too much bourbon for me that mixed strangely with the lactose stout flavors.
