Jun 23, 2006 I really liked this version of the Old Heathen much better than the original. This is completely different, and much more complex. The pour is dark or course, with an average head. The aroma is of vanilla, and some of that nice bourbon smell. Smells sort of like a shot of Jack with some chocolate on top. The flavor is nice. Very smooth and drinkable, the taste starts out with some nice chocolate malt, and finishes with a hint of that bourbon. I could drink plenty of this one, without growing tired of it. "

Jun 15, 2006 Bottle - Pours thick oily black with thick tan head. Aroma is sweet malty chocolate with some notes of alcohol. Palate is thick and oily, but silky smooth. Upfront taste of bourbon with a follow through of malty chocolate, vanilla and some raisin sweetness. Aftertaste is somewhat sweet and oaky with a good amount of alcohol warming. Overall this is a very good Imperial Stout with some character. The oak barrel aging gives it a good taste of bourbon balanced out nicely with some malty sweetness.

Jun 14, 2006 Black with a thick head. The aroma is heavy with chocolate, toffee, malt and coffee. Sweet, with a remarkably light body and a noticable alcohol bite. Outstanding, if a little expensive.

Jun 13, 2006 Pours a deep dark brown color. Small tan head head that lasted throughout. Aromas of bourbon and wood. Flavor was a lot of bourbon, hints of smoke, chocolate. Full bodied and creamy. Tasted more bourbon than beer. WOW, this is a flavorful beer!!

Jun 11, 2006 Not a bad showing. Poured a dark brown, pretty black color. Head was nice initially (esp. for high abv), lacing ok. The aroma was of oak, wood chips and coffee, along with some bourbon or liquor. The flavor was comparable, coffee more prevalent. Mouthfeel was moderate to heavy. Not a lot of hop balance, but good stuff.

Jun 8, 2006 Bottle. Pours black hole black, with a medium brown head. Dark, smokey chocolate aroma. Heavy flavors - dark chocolate, burnt coffee, and slight dark fruit, with a strong woody and brandy notes. Smooth, soupy, and a tad tarry - but HEAVY. Delightful.

Jun 5, 2006 WOW! Just opened my 2yr old 12oz bottle. Got it right from the brewery and man is it good. Tastes like Jim Beam and coffee in a pint glass. Delicious! Carbonation doubled and it tastes as though the abv level did also. This beer is meant to be aged and its well worth the wait.
