Bottle, thanks vjohans. Pours black with a tan head. Taste chocolate, rosted malts, some licorice and bourbon. A bit too thin for all taste.

(Bottle) Black with good tan head. Nice aroma - toffee, roast barley, bourbon. Medium body, medium carbonation and smooth. Flavor is rich without being overwhelming. Toffee and chocolate up front. Excellent bourbon notes from mid palate to finish. There’s quite some complexity too with some vanilla notes and some black coffee like bitterness. Excellent. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. A- Bourbon, booze, roasty, smoke, woody, cherries, cocoa. A- Black color, black liquid, light brown head. T- Bourbon, boozy, wood, cherries, dark fruits, cocoa. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, smooth finish. O- I couldn’t believe this wasn’t an imperial stout when reading the label. After the first sip I was even more confused. It tasted like a barleywine or imperial stout with the booze and dark cherries but yet felt as light as a wheat beer. This was well balanced and felt right in all the best places.

25th May 2015: on-tap US pint during Happy Hour at the Yard House, Irvine. Served a bit too cold, but as it warmed a little the aroma and flavours burst forth. Black bodied with a tanned foam on top. Bourbon esters in the malty nose, Bourbon hints in the malty flavour: semi-sweet as it warms. A tad thin body wise but flavoursome and interesting.

Wild Turkey barrel aged stout with opaque black colour under a medium thick, creamy, tan, lacing head with good retention. Perfumey, sweet and liqueurish aroma of cappuccino, pancakes, meat broth, marzipan, walnuts, nougat, raisins, banana, chocolate sauce, bourbon, big vanilla-like tannins, kahlua of coffee liqueur, rose petals, marmelade, mint, home made caramel, burning pipe tobacco, mocha ice cream. Taste begins with dried fruits, less sweet than expected actually, minerally with medium carbonation, candied orange touch, becoming sweeter as it progresses, slick and oily body (not very thick), syrupy malt sweetness, very caramelly and chocolatey, smooth and creamy, spreading widely over the tongue like a very liquid chocolate sauce; finish has a gentle roasted bitterness, a bit coffee-like but not overly so, lingering chocolatey sweetness, lots of elegant, vanilla-like oak tannins and a hint of bourbon, warming the throat but not too wry or burning, aided by a presence of lightly citrussy hops adding some subtle bitterness; however, sweetness and booze dominate the ending. Very pleasant stout, easily drinkable, sweet and gentle, with a lovely bouquet.
