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 6, 2006 Great! Old Heathen with some kick, yeah baby. Same everything as Old Heathen just with some bourbon flavoring.

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.

May 20, 2006 Appearance: Dark color with a pinky-sized tan head.
Smell: Smells kind of like a JD and coke to me. Sweet fruit and burnt malt wood and slightly harsh vanilla.
Taste: roasty chalk , sweet, chocolate, vanilla, with a dry, slightly bitter finish. A little watery, but overall a pleasant pull. No alcohol taste, which at only 8.2% is a good thing
Palate: on the light end of an imperial stout.
A drinkable brew, nothing earth shattering. I could session this baby under some circumstances, which is scary.

May 17, 2006 On tap at the Virginia Beer Festival. Pours very dark with a thin tan head. Aroma of espresso, bits of dark chocolate, and oak chips. Flavor was excellent - strong espresso notes, cream, roasted oak, dark chocolate, and malts. Goes down nice and smooth - I need to get more of this.
