Sampler at their brew pub. Black in the glass, small beige head. Vanilla bourbon aroma. Taste starts smooth, vanilla, choco, roasted malt, boozy in a pleasanr way. Long lasting bourbon aftertaste. Really nice.
A deep dark stout with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with light bourbon, dark fruits, molasses, alcohol warmth, nice. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with light peated notes, bourbon barrel, licorice, alcohol warmth, very nice. On tap at Main st location.

On tap at Bluegrass, pours black with a tiny head. Nose is pretty flat, with bready malt, no hint of bourbon. Flavour has only a touch of bourbon, with bready malt and some earthy. Confused and muffled - nothing of elegance here. Meh.

4 oz pour on draft at Spacebar. Dark brownish black with light tan head. Aromas of light chocolate and caramel. Tastes of light dark fruit, chocolate, caramel, subtle bourbon, light oak. Medium body with a dry finish. Not really much bourbon to speak of if any.

Light roast and some barrel, though the latter is pretty well integrated. Some dark chocolate. Pours black with decent head. Some caramel. Bittersweet finish. Bottle.

16oz pour at Spacebar comes a thick black with some soft, white head. Nose has a lot of roast, licorice, toast, the bourbon is there but it’s more a vanilla/caramel thing than anything. Flavor really comes through with the booze, loads of vanilla, toasted wood, coconut, something a bit artificial like cheap rootbeer, licorice, burnt malt. Full bodied, lightly boozy finish.

Old rating. Bottle from Old Town. Nice vanilla, cacao and bourbon notes on the nose. Taste is thin-bodied and watery. Carbonation is too fizzy. Fruit notes show up as it comes to room temperature. Overly sweet. Kind of a mess.

Keg at Beer Run, 11/18/14. Somehow I never rated this despite it being in regular rotation for years at my most frequented bar. Pours a clear dark red with a thin frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, mild roasted malt. The taste is roasted malt, chocolate, nuts, cherries, vanilla, whiskey. Medium bodied, low carbonation, slightly too sweet.
