Sample at Jackie O’s as part of Ohio Brew Week. The beer is a clear amber color with a medium rocky light beige head that recedes steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Hoppy nose with some roasty notes. Medium body with a moderately hoppy character and flavors of roasted malt and honey. The finish is hoppy with a roasted nutty aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle 66 of 72 thanks to JohnGalt1. Pours out a brown with some mahogany highlights topped with a small tan head. Aroma is of light smoke, peat, some caramel and chocolate sweetness. Taste is more of the peat, light smoke, some pit fruit, bourbon, vanilla, and a little oak. Another short run from Jackie-O’s always fun to try super small batch stuff. Thanks again Toby

Bottle 26 of 72 Once again a nig thanks to JohnGalt1. Pours out a black topped with a small tan head just hanging on around the edge of the glass. Aroma was of rich dark roast, vanilla, light pit fruit sweetness, and a little cocoa. Taste was more of the dark roast and vanilla. A nice sweet and bitter end with molasses and cocoa showing threw.

22oz bottle shared by Doug, thanks man #76/156
Appearance: Pours black with a small tan head and some lacing
Aroma: Roasted malts, chocolate and metallic
Taste: Dark malts with tart fruits.
It tastes like it was slightly infected, it’s possible this was intentional. But the flavors didn’t mesh, it was footbalmed

Location: Bottle at Max and Andy's Fantasy Tasting, 5/1/10
Aroma: The nose on this one is boozy (bourbon), spice, roasted malts, and oak
Appearance: The pour is dark brown-black in color with a beige-brown head
Flavor: The bourbon is also strong in the flavor of this malty, spicy, and boozy brew
Palate: This one feels rather rich, and is certainly boozy (the booze are probably too hot)
Overall Impression: Not a bad beer, but I like a little less bourbon in my beer then this. If I wanted to drink bourbon, I'd have gotten a bourbon. Otherwise, it has some interesting flavors, and seems to have a pretty good complexity to it, so I'm certainly not going to go too low.

Sample at the HSC Sour Beer Tasting on 06/19/2010: Thanks to JaBier for sharing bottle #55/156. This brew pours a dark brown color with a thin beige head that dissipates to an outer ring eventually. Stringy lacing on the glass. Oaky bourbon, vanilla and malt in the nose. Rich and smooth body with flavors of caramel malt, burnt wood, vanilla and bourbon. The finish is oaky with a roasted malt and tart fruity aftertaste. Above average overall.

Interesting beer but it suffers from a thin feel. The beer has a good aroma - cherries, wine, chocolate, roast. Feel was oddly watery and it really washed out the flavor. I don’t quite know what I’m reacting, but recently, I’ve had a few barrel-aged beers that seem to have really thinned out in the barrel.
