Black, thick and oily pour, almost no head. It needs a few minutes to develop, but there is a good aroma of dark chocolate with some Bourbon. Good body strength; dark chocolate flavor, a bit too much salt and liquorice, with traces of Bourbon.
Not cohesive.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours dark brown black with a slight darkish tan head. Aroma of chocolate and alcohol. Smooth and full bodied. Flavor is chocolate, earthy chocolate, dark malt, and then the chocolate turns in to bourbon. The heat burns the gullet a bit. Really a very nice drink, if a bit hot.

Bottle. Inky thick dark brown. Soy sauce and rich toffee dark sugars. Taste is a bit thin, with a lot of dark sugars, and a hint of barrel. Not a ton of flavour development. At warmer temperatures this gets more vibrant and nuanced.

22 Oz bottle poured. Thanks to Tcon for sharing. Cola like pour with a big fizzy brown head. Soft aroma of chocolate and whiskey barrel. Flavor goes just about everywhere. Vanilla, Oatmeal cookie, chocolate, Dark fruit, And smooth whiskey. Finishes just a bit boozy, but not enough to be offputting. Sweet stout with a ton of flavor. Very well done. Update: more whiskey this time around. Slight coffee bitter finish. Has a caramel sweetness throughout. Fantastic stuff. Even better this time.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of whiskey, light smoke, caramel malts, and roast. Flavour brings out medium strength bourbon notes, a touch of smoke and light roast. Rather mellow for a BA impie stout. Nicely balanced, with a velvety palate. Very nice stuff.

Tap at Special Brews. Another too much barrel and alcohol imperial stout. Except in this case its almost unbearable on the nose. I just smell rubbing alcohol. I know there is a decent stout hiding somewhere underneath all this crapola.
