Really interesting piney aroma with a roasted coffee overtone. Equally piney alcohol flavor with a coffee finish. Kind of thin and strong. A bigger body might have balanced the alcohol a little better. Vas19 (299), Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 21, 2008 Pours black with a thick brown head. Aroma is coffee and sweet pine. Flavor starts real sweet and moves to a nice coffee finish. A little too sweet for me in an imperial stout, and I swear there is a hint of paint. Average. henrikb (1303), Aarhus, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Mar 19, 2008 Black body with a fast disappering light brown head; Quite good but not to big a nose, some burnt barrel bourbon notes other wise smooth and soft; Soft textured body with a slight sour touch, as well as being a little thin, strange combo; Medium long finish where the bourbon aroma appears and somehow makes it a little thin and sharp, slightly sour with an oak vanilla warmth. Not to well composed, somehow it seems the initial beer has been to soft and not big enough for the barrel aging to do good. blklab2007 (955), Connecticut, USA
