Dark brown, thin head, rich dark malts. Chewy, barrely, lots of dark sugars, rummy almost. Intense. Whisky. Alcohol comes through a lot.

Bottle shared with Countbeer. Opaque dark brown to black color, medium sized quite dense brown head. Aroma is malts, chocolate, toasted malts, a hint of brown sugar. Taste malts, chocolate, again brown sugar, slightly liquorice, caramel, hints of barrel aging, a distant hint of hops, moderately bitter. Medium body and suitable decent carbonation. Solid.

650ml bottle at Matts. Pours a dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is bourbon barrels, roasted malt, some hops and saddle. Taste is vanilla, bourbon barrels, burnt malt, boozy. Good one.

Bottle from BC Liquors, Park Royal, West Vancouver
Black color with brownish head. The aroma starts with roasted malts, then wood, oak barrel, malt, hint of smoke. Lean mouthfeel, with medium sweetness, carbonated, and some acidity contributes to a dynamic feeling; the roasted malt is dominant but not excessive in the flavor, with some dark chocolate, a salty touch, and some bourbon.
Very well made, excellent beer, still it doesn’t justify the price tag (21$).

Pours deep mahogany-tinged brown into a tulip. Vanilla and espresso aromas. Deep chocolate and espresso upfront turning to peat and vanilla in the hot lasting espresso finish.

Poured up on tap at Mikkeller Bar in SF where it exhibits dark mahogany body that supports a thin mocha head. The aroma offers up boozy bourbon and oak flowing into chocolate, prunes and malt balls. The taste is similar with an initial boozy burst lending notes of bourbon and vanilla and a bit of spicy oak. To midway chocolate laced with prunes come to the surface provided an oasis away from the booze. This is a bit on the boozy side. A little less barrel time and this would be stellar.

22 oz. bottle purchased at One Stop Market, Haverhill, MA. Bottle date of 10/12/2015. Appearance is pitch black with some lasting tan head in the glass. Aroma shows a distinct scotch barrel treatment with notes of barely wine dark fruit hints.
I wanted to sit on this a tad longer but I wanted a big stout that I hadn’t rated. And this is just a blended brew so here I am… The flavor shows the same scotch boldness that was noticeable in the aroma. Since it is a blend the flavor profile seems to be all over the place. Some bunt coffee beans and a huge oak presence. Body is almost full with a oily slickness over the palate. Decent but not overjoyed with this.

4000th review! 22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 10/26/2015. Pours pitch black color with a 2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of huge milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, vanilla, fudge, toffee, brown sugar, molasses, bourbon, toasted oak, peat smoke, leather, coconut, raisin, prune, fig, slight char, and roast/oak earthiness. Incredible aromas with fantastic complexity and balance of dark/roasted malt and bourbon/scotch barrel notes; with great strength. Taste of huge milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, vanilla, fudge, toffee, brown sugar, molasses, bourbon, toasted oak, peat smoke, leather, coconut, raisin, prune, fig, slight char, and roast/oak earthiness. Light roasted bitterness and bourbon/scotch/oak spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, vanilla, fudge, toffee, brown sugar, molasses, bourbon, toasted oak, peat smoke, leather, coconut, raisin, prune, fig, and roast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roasted malt and bourbon/scotch barrel flavors; with a great roast/oak bitter/sweet/spiciness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a very smooth, creamy/silky, and slightly chalky mouthfeel that is awesome. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is an insane Imperial blended strong ale style. All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roasted malt and bourbon/scotch barrel flavors; and very smooth and easy to sip on for the big ABV. Pretty much perfectly balanced between the 3 blended base beers; with amazing balance of the barrel notes as well. An insanely delicious offering.
