Poured from a 12 oz bottle. Aroma has lots of chocolate and roast with some light bourbon and oak notes. Hints of caramel, dark fruit and tobacco. Some light alcohol spice. Pours black with a medium small, medium thick, mocha head that has a reddish tinge and recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and moderate length legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a lot of chocolate flavors. Some lighter roast notes. Medium light dark fruit notes with plums and prunes. Light oak and bourbon notes. A bit of caramel and raisin. Medium bitterness. Hints of tobacco and almonds. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty decent imperial stout. Nice, balanced bourbon, chocolate and roast notes. Some nice fruit, nut and caramel notes as well.

On tap at Juls in Tyler, TX
Clear amber with a small off-white head some lacing. Aroma is floral and malty. Taste is floral, malty with mild fingernail polish taste in the finish
Ok, but not reel good

16 oz draft at Sambuca restaurant in Dallas, Texas. The pour is hazed orange golden with a well formed one inch white head. The aroma is soft pineapple tropical fruit, gentle resin dank and general earthiness. The taste is the tropical fruit, quite fresh and juicy along with the dank character and finishing with earth bitterness. The palate is medium bodied, active natural carbonation and the bitter dry finish. Nice clean fresh IPA.

12 oz. bottle, pours a dark orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out candied sugar, Belgian yeast, and bready malt. Flavour is jumbled, with Belgian yeast, candied sugar and yeast. Messy and yeasty. Not great.

Shaker pint draft at City Tavern in Dallas, Texas. The pour is clear copper brown with a smallish light tan head. The aroma is toffee, malt, a bit of grass bitterness. The taste is the toffee malt, though expresses itself weirdly, and a bit artificially. The grass bitterness adds some herbal notes, carries the finish and combines with the sweetness and lingers. The palate is medium bodied, lower carbonation level and the bittersweet herbal finish. There were components of this beer that I enjoyed, though overall didn’t completely do it for me. I’m not sure it was in the best condition.

12 ounce bottle thanks to Secret Santa crajun! Clear dark brown, moderate creamy tan head, decent retention. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla, baker’s chocolate.

Bottle. Pours opaque black, small dark brown head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is molasses, burnt malt, anise. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter, roasty with a bit of smoke, oak, molasses and anise. Not a lot of barrel presence here. Medium body, a bit of tannic acidity. Fits pretty squarely in the "good not great" category.
