Very dark brown color. With light brown head. Tons of bourbon, truffles, port, chocolate, burnt raisins, much more like a black barleywine. Very smooth low medium carbonation. Alcohol well hidden so smooth and bourbon very well integrated. Slight warming finish. Very well integrated and rounded. Fantastic.

22 oz bottle shared with a friend. Dark brownish black with light tan head. Aromas of big bourbon, dark chocolate, dark fruit, oak, booze. Tastes of big bourbon, dark chocolate, dark fruit, light floral notes. Medium-full body with a dry finish. Really nice with just over a year on it.

Poured from a bottle from the brewpub it is black with a slight head. The aroma is bourbon and raisins and the taste is a lovely blend if flavors that resonates with a strong flavor of bourbon on the palate. Hooray!!!

Sample at GABF 10/13/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. The beer is a dark mahogany brown color with a medium creamy beige head and small patches of lace. Aroma of toasted malt, vanilla and hops. Full-bodied with a chewy dark malt character and notes of bourbon, pine, and oaky vanilla. The finish is chocolate malt and vanilla. Good beer all around.

On tap at Lupulin Reunion 2012 at RFD. Pours a translucent, nearly opaque mahogany brown with some beige head. Great nose, chocolate, malty, malt balls, caramel, coconut, vanilla. Big sweet flavor, chocolate, vanilla, coconut, whiskey. Soothing alcohol on a warming finish. Lightly sweet at the end too. High class.

Poured a dark brown color from the cask with absolutely no head at all. Aroma is heavy vanilla and oaked notes. Evan Williams comes through the flavor, most absolutely. No carbonation to speak of. A bit harsh, and at something along the lines of 15% (not 10% as advertised in print), the beer is a bit more mellow than I had expected.
