22 oz. bottle. Purchased at Beertopia, Omaha, NE. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, vanilla, and weak ash. Taste is of oak, chocolate, roasted malts, sweet molasses and caramel malts. Very mild ash in the finish. Has a very thin mouthfeel with low depth.
Coffee and weak chocolate on the backend and lightly bitter in the finish. Texture is dry and ashy. Flavor would be good if it wasn’t so watery thin. Maybe has improved in recent years but stills needs a lot of help to be good. Had I brewed this stout, I never would have sold this in stores. It is kind of shameful.

Pours a dark, brown-black, with little by way of head. Kind of thin on the palate, actually, for an imperial stout. Aromas of fruit, coffee, chocolate. Flavors include chocolate, coffee, caramel, some anise, some raisin. Not a bad first try, but needs to go back to the drawing board.

Bottle with gooovikings in KC. Thanks Jetson! Black appearance with a dark brown head. Roasty, slightly charred, dark malty nose. Bitter, dark charred, big anise, dark fruity, chocolate malty flavor. Decent, I guess.

Nitro sample at Peace Tree, July 7. Smell is warming, with brandy and a bit of chocolate involved.Black in the glass with a strata of brown bubbles forming just below the foam. Taste reveals a strong coffee flavor. At time it comes close to that Nirvana of my first Bourbon County Stout, but then the mouthfeel is notably much thinner. My pourer agreed that maybe this should be pushed by regular CO2 instead of nitro. Big coffee and licorice finish. Still, a great beer to have around to dare the newbies. I’ve got some bottles, too, so they will be rated later.

Big thanks to Secret Santa for this Iowa tick! Pours black. Nose of roasted black malt, chocolate, cocoa, Belgian yeast and coffee. Taste is mostly lactose, powdered milk, warming alcohol, burnt black malt and Belgian yeast. Lighter body for an imperial. Bitter milk and warm cocoa finish.
