Corked bottle from TheEpeiist, thanks! Almost pitch black. Creamy aroma with dark chocolate, cacao and licorice. Salty, creamy flavor with milk chocolate, licorice, dired fruit. Some alcohol. Just a hint of oak, nothing more. Full bodied, malty, creamy and really delicious!

Bottle: Dark brown pour with a large, thick and creamy brown head. Rich and silky aroma of bourbon and chocolate. Malty and light roast. Delectable! Flavor is a deep, rich maltiness with a hefty amount of roast and coffee. Plenty of chocolate coming through and the bourbon barrel plays a nice complimentary role. Very thick and rich. Simply an amazing and excellent brew.

Bottle Pours out a ink black topped with a tiny brown ring. Aroma was hot of Bourbon and the 12%. Along with plent of dark roast and coffee. Tast was of the Bourbon once again and a nice thick roast. Some oak and vanilla a nice almond joy tast. Maybe a few years to chill.

(11/15/08) Bottle at Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia. Opaque black-colored beer with a small bubbly brown head. Powerful aroma of dark chocolate, wood, bourbon, some espresso notes, lots of roasted malt and a bit of fruitiness. Sweet malty flavor with bourbon, chocolate (some chocolate cake), licorice, some raisins and quite a bit of alcohol. Full-bodied.

Bottle at Najas Place. Reminds me a lot of Burbon Angel’s Share. This is REALLY good. Pours thick with a small, creamy light brown head covering a black body. Boozy aroma (brandy or Burbon, with chocolate, oak, dark fruits and cinnamon. Taste is great with chocolate and tons of oak and vanilla. Syrupy with light bubbles. Outstanding!
