Can shared at Martin T tasting, CBC Clerkenwell - London. Cheers! Pours black-brown with a big, tight, creamy brown head. Dusty cocoa in the nose, sweet brown bread. Medium sweet flavour with nice cocoa and dark bread notes, moderate roast, ash, milk chocolate. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Creamy texture. Sweet finish, some dry cocoa, light drying burnt wood, more ash, some dried dark fruits. Very good stuff.

Can at the Martin T tasting, CBC, 06/06/13 big thanks to Nathan the Brigadier for this share. Can badged as the aliased version ’Bourbons’ barrel stout. Mid black with a thin tan head. Nose is light roast, dark fruits, mineral notes, light chocolate. Taste comprises woody notes, dark fruit, touch of bourbon, chocolate, light roast. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry roasty finish. Ok impy but lacks a little depth to be a great.

Location: Can at Nerd Beer Epic Weekend, 1/25/13

Aroma: The nose is roasty and a little burnt, with some oak, vanilla, and bourbon
Appearance: This one pours a dark brown color with a small, light brown head and minimal lace
Flavor: The flavor has roasted and burnt malts, minimal sweetness, and a good amount of bourbon
Palate: Feels a touch light for the style, a little watery, pretty dry, and it has a fairly short duration
Overall Impression:  This one is pretty decent, but it just feels a little lacking (specifically in the palate). Good, but not a favorite for me in this style.

Draft. Deep brown body approaching black. Huge beige head, slowly diminishing. Aroma of roasted malt, wood, bourbon, molasses. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter and lightly to moderately acidic. Medium body, watery texture turning sticky in the finish, soft carbonation. Distinct taste of oak, roast, banana, bourbon. Tart finish. It’s great that the bourbon compliments the beer instead of dominating it.
