Bottle sample @ RBBWG 2016, thanks Ben. Anno 2013, bottle# 04289. Bottled 12.18.2013. Brune foncée, col fin moka, doré au verre. Arôme est axé sur les malts, pas mal de caramel, léger biscuité, grillé et fin chocolaté, touche de fruité rouge en rétro-nasal. Palais est malté, grillé, petite note surette de fruit noir rappelant la cerise. Bourbon est là, plaisant où le côté boisé, vanille alterne sur cette fin portant une fine amertume des houblons.

Bottle at RBBWG 2016 in Antwerpen. Clear, very dark red to black with a tan to brown head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, dark chocolate, dark ripe fruits and some vanilla. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity and minimally roasty taste of dark chocolate, some coffee, caramel, dark ripe fruits and vanilla, followed by a short, slightly bitter, minimally roasty finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Very nice!

Thank you for sharing Beerlover_Ben! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG V. 2013 Vintage. Black with a mocha head. Nose is vinous coffee, herbal burned malts, coffee grounds, thick roasted malts, molasses & more vinous roast. Warming molasses, licorice, burned herbal malts, coffee grounds, light vinous streak, sugar, licorice herbs,… Body feels thinned. I don’t think that aging improved it, it is a good beer but compares unfavourably to other big USA Bourbon BA RIS’s.

Sampled from bottle @ Ratebeer Belgian Winter Gathering 2016. Opaque black color, average to medium sized light brown head. Aroma is malts and wood with moderately bourbon seeping through. Not as much bourbon as I would have hoped. Taste is about the same: malts, dark malts, oak / wood, only light to moderately bourbon. A hint of tart from the wood in the distance. Chocolate, coffee? Don’t get it. Medium body and carbonation. Not as good as I had hoped.

Bottle, Boise imperial stout tasting via JohnGalt1 – thanks Toby! Pours a deep dark brown with a small ring of beige head. Pleasant aroma of heavy roast, cocoa, espresso, and a light bourbon barrel presence. Smooth and silky, well rounded layer of flavors. Especially the silky chocolate. Moderate roast, minimal bitters as the bourbon barrel sweetness swirls through the glass. Some vanilla. Very good.

On tap at Chuck's, pours black with a very small tan head. Nose brings out huge notes of bourbon upfront, followed by vanilla and cocoa. Flavour is all bourbon and booze upfront, with a huge amount of heat and bourbon, with secondary notes of vanilla and cocoa. Way too boozy and bourbony but it works in small amounts. Very good for what it is.
