Black color, brown head. Earthy aromas of coffee, elegant, some alcohol. Smooth mouthfeel, lean body, the base Porter is good but not very complex, the bourbon is also nice but overwhelming; touch of tar, leather, spices.
A good drink, unabalanced though.

Keg at Encinitas.Ale House. Pours black-brown, creamy tan head. Nice dark malts, burnt caramel, faint oxidation, ashy roast, bitter cocoa, coffee grounds. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, lots of ashy bitterness, bitter coffee and baking cocoa. Not bad.

Bouteille de 650 ml du Canada Craft Beer Club. Un nez typiquement lager avec notes de céréales, de sirop de maïs. Limite de l'oxydation. Puissance moyenne de l'olfactif. Collet de taille moyenne sur liquide doré, légèrement voilé et développant une effervescence vive. L'entrée de bouche se décline en sirop de maïs sucré supportant des malts céréaliers aux allures de pain frais, sur une finale légèrement herbacée. On est loin d'une grande bière. Mais dans la tradition des lagers commerciales Américaines.

Waxed bomber from CraftShack. Pours dark brown with a creamy/bubbly dark tan head. Aromas of chocolate and bourbon. Fairly full bodied. Flavor is smooth, almost creamy, dark chocolate with dark toasted malt, fair amount of bourbon. Arguably some musty wood. There's de minimus heat. Not too dry; not too sweet; not too bitter. Very chocolate. Good dose of whiskey. I'm likin' it.

Bottle - Intense bourbon and barrel notes with tons of booze. Deep jet brown with a decent beige head. Very bold, but maybe too much for me.

650ml bottle at Matt's. Pours a very dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma is bourbon, barrel, some chocolate and roasted malt. Similar taste with some buttery notes from oak and fruity notes. A bit boozy. Good.

Unplugged Turkey Kopi Lewak. Dark brown. This has a nice bourbon nose, with a whack of coffee, So big nose. On the palate, it's rich, a bit hot, lots of sugars but still a whack of alcohol. The bourbon comes through a fair bit. Not particularly refined, but quite burly.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is loaded with bourbon barrels, smoke, leather and roasted coffee. Flavour is along the same lines, with very complex smoky bourbon barrels, complex coffee beans, leather and a little vanilla and cocoa. Light booze, but the smoky bourbon character is lovely. Excellent.
