Mrthirstyneck (339), Minnesota, USA Apr 21, 2008 Updated: Jun 6, 2008Incredible. I love coffee beers, and the original devil was something to write home about. However, this one is insane. Everything about it is just perfect. The bourbon is not overpowering at all, there is just enough hints of chocolate, sweet vanilla, and oaky toastiness in this one.
Amazingly smooth and creamy on the tongue, and a real treat as it parties on the palate for quite some time. The aroma is of dark heavily roasted coffee with a touch of vanilla and sweet bourbon, but just a touch.
Can’t say much else besides wow........yep best coffee brew i’ve had yet. Though there are many great ones!
I must add to this AGAIN! The more i drink the more incredible it is. I have 30 bottles but cannot bring myself to drink them out of fear of what ill do when its gone! Swish it in your mouth a bit and swallow it... wait a few seconds and lick between teeth and gums.....OH MY OH MY.! Woooooo incutrav (489), Woodbury, Minnesota, USA Apr 21, 2008 Im going to agree with ol ThirstyNeck. The coffee aspect of this brew is amazing, as it has more coffee then any brew I have had, but what seperates it is the smoothness and balance of the coffee and the bourbon. The bourbon aspect is pretty subdued, but its there, with a little sweetness at the end. The coffee is so smooth, creamy, roasty, good. I didnt think they could top the regular Devil from last year, but this has just that little extra that makes it the perfect brew for me. fiver29 (257), Strongsville, Ohio, USA May 3, 2008 Updated: May 4, 2008Courtesy of Pepsican. Bottle pours a pitch black. Smells like a starbucks coffee with some beer on the side. Tastes like a dark coffee and has a wonderful taste. Coffee, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, coffee, syrup, coffee, oak, and coffee. Has a silky medium mouthfeel. Overall, this is one of the best brews I have ever had.

Not much else making it through that great coffee bean aroma. Flavor is of coffee bean that is perfectly intertwined with hints of vanilla and bourbon. Great, smooth as silk body as well. Leaves a great coffee aftertaste in your mouth.Wow....what a excellent brew! Thanks Brewblackhole! Davecooks (1128), Bay Area, California, USA Jun 28, 2008 Bottle via trade with Stine. Deep brown color with a light tan head. Smells like coffee, coffee and some coffee, damn that smells like coffee! I love coffee. Deep caramel flavors with lots of coffee. Some slight bourbon and woody notes but coffee is what really stands out here. This beer comes across exactly as it’s presented here: this is a porter, brewed with coffee and aged in bourbon barrels. I could write that description based off the taste alone. I love coffee. I love porters. I love BA beers. This one is out of the park!
