Dark brown, no head. The aroma has a lot of barrel notes, sweet bourbon notes and lots of them, with some dark sugars, too. Nice complexity. Soft body, raisins, lots of dates, some rich complex honey, light smoke, some alcohol. This is really complex. sticky, rich and tasty. The alcohol comes through a bit in the finish, of course, lending it a warming quality. Really nice beer.

This beer pours a cloudy brown-black pour with a medium thick khaki head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patches of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of bourbon, malt, oak and vanilla. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, vanilla, roasted malt, fudge and a bit of fruit. The finish is oaky with a lingering bourbon and malt aftertaste. Very good beer all around.

Poured on draft at Toronado Seattle, during the quiet morning after the big release event. New Year, new blend of magic. Hope they do these for years and years to come. Hopefully some day I can try these blends side by side. All I know is that they are incredible. Thick, coffee black pour. This is dangerously smooth all things considered. Smooth, bold dark chocolate, some soft maple, even slighted hint of dark fruit, cherry. Such smooth bourbon throughout. As amazing and memorable as last years blend. Love this.

Bottle, courtesy of SinH4. Pours darkest brown. Aroma is very malty, nuts and caramel, toasted malts. Body is heavy, super sweet and a bit rusty in texture, like cream liquor, low carbonation. Lingering sweet. Very good!

375 mL bottle poured at Toronado, Seattle to celebrate Tommy's birthday. Cheers to that, and with this, am unexpected and awesome celebration. Dark brown pour. So much vanilla. Cocoa. Smooth chocolate and all flavor of whiskey. Amazing how smooth it is for how heavy it actually is. Cookie, bran, chocolate. I wasn't sure what to expect with this, and it blew away any expectation I had. Subtle raisin. Lingering remaining chocolate. A beautiful blend of amazing beers. Loved everything about this.

Bottle thanks to Savada. Pours a very dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong roast, smoke, peat, oak, bourbon. Medium body, vanilla, roast, caramel, peat, wood, boozy finish, very nice.
