JK (2946), Richfield, Minnesota, USA Jun 1, 2007 Bourbon aroma and flavor. Black color. It looks thick but is surprisingingly thin on the palate. Moderate malt in the flavor, and the bourbon is everywhere in the flavor and aroma. I don’t care for bourbon beers very much and I sure am bored with this, but this beer does the bourbon better than many others. BDR (2139), Roseville, Minnesota, USA May 29, 2007 Thanks to Joebrew for sharing. Dark dark brown body with faint brown head. Rich coffee nose with lots of bourbon. Very sweet body with roasted malt flavor. beerguy101 (3861), Newark, California, USA May 25, 2007 This Imperial Stout pours an eclipse black color from a 22oz bottle. Medium sized tan foamy head. Aroma is roasted malts, some chocolate and some vanilla. A medium to full bodied Imperial Stout. Malts are chocolate, touch of dark fruit with some roastiness. Hops are earthy. There is a touch of oak and a touch of vinous quality in this beer, that goes well with the roasty malts. Very smooth taste. Nice balance. Good sipping beer. The slight sour/tart/lactic flavor is nice, it adds to the flavors of this beer without being dominant. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. tommy8768 (120), Litlle Compton, Rhode Island, USA May 22, 2007 Wow! Very dark brown with a lare thick head. Smooth and rich, tastes of vanilla and butterscotch. Alcohol taste is quite evident-this one is potent! Has a kind of scotch taste to it. Not one to swill but to sip and enjoy. Thumbs up! LilKem (1210), Marietta, Ohio, USA May 14, 2007 I enjoyed this one. Some oak, whiskey, vanilla bean, and whipped cream. Some roasted malt, milk chocolate. Very very smooth and creamy mouthfeel. AlKHall (161), West Hartford, Connecticut, USA May 14, 2007 Drank 5/12 from can. Very dark and rich - alch content is just right. coffee and bitterness - very oaky - overall a great beer...... hoplover406 (204), Crofton, Maryland, USA May 8, 2007 Updated: Jul 6, 2007Oh baby, baby! This was like eating dessert. Like a chocolatey milkshake. I didn’t get all the overboard oak/whiskey that everyone’s talking about in the aroma and taste. This was so damn smooth and delicious. Creamy and decadent in the mouth. I’ll be right back....gotta go to the store and buy some more! biggcb (459), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA May 8, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours a dark brwon with 2 finger tan head. A lot of the oak comes through in the aroma as well as good bits of roasted malts, chocolate, dark fruits and a little of the bourbon & some vanilla. Flavor is very similar to the aroma - oak, chocolate, malt, bourbon. A decent, middle-of-the-road imp stout.
