Tap at Vintage. Pitch black body, respectable rusted beige head. Wow! Massive chewy caramel bourbon tones. This is really quite fantastic, a different creature than normal NT, which I used to love. Sweet caramel booze, not much heat, but lots of chocolate covered depth. One of the better WI beers out there. Approaching world class but not quite there.

Opaque dark brown beer, not much of a head. Smooth palate, semi dry with very mild carbonation. Nice barrelling. A little wood and a very small amount of bourbon and mild coconut. A little red berry fruits on the back end. Mild spice. All this on a smooth dark malt base. Finishes smooth with a trace of licorice. All flavours in good balance.

Shared by Bob, Feb. 23, 2013. Dark brown color. Bourbon in the aroma and the flavor, too much of it for me. Roasted grain and malt body.

Sampled from the tap at the 2010 GTMW. Poured black with a medium brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had a strong bourbon note that overwhelmed the roasted malt and oats. Flavor was a bit more balanced with the roasted malts and oat in the start and the bourbon growing toward the finish.
