Sample from tap @ Mikkeller Bar, huge thanks to oh6gdx!
Pours pitch black with a tiny light brown head. Excellent aroma of heavy roastiness, chocolate, vanilla, oak, wood, cocoa, smoke and coffee notes. Taste is complex but extremely well balanced mix of smooth roastiness, molasses, wood, oak, vanilla, whisky, cocoa, chocolate and coffee. Finish is slick and slightly roasty with notes of espresso, chocolate, vanilla and wood. Complex but extremely well balanced imperial stout. Tasty, tasty stuff.

Very dark brown. The aroma is very chocolatey, malted milk. The body is slightly thinner than the Rarer DOS, but with nice chocolate notes. Lots of full malty character. Decent, balance but not as stylish or intense as the Rarer.

On tap at the LCBS 10. Black pour with a big brown head. Sweet bourbon and roasted malt aromas. The taste was sweet and smooth. Loaded with bourbon, vanilla, caramel malt, chocolate, and just a hint of coffee. Dak was spot on at the tasting and on his rating. This stout does taste a lot like Older Viscosity.....
Revisited this beer after about a year in the bottle (thank you Maltzilla) last night. Adjusted my rating from 4.3 to 4.6. The bourbon has subsided some and delicious chocolate, caramel, and vanilla notes exploded in my mouth. What a great freakin’ stout...
