bottle at RBSG 2010 - Pours black with a dark tan head. It has an aroma of dark roast malt, bourbon, and coffee. The excellent flavor is of dark roast malt and coffee. The bourbon is quite subdued. The body is pleasantly full. Very good.

sampled during the 2011 RBWG weekendthe last vintage thanks to Kyle, pours black with a medium brown head. Aroma is pine, roast, coffee and tobacco. Flavor is dry as hell with lots of roast, maybe a touch of smoke and earthen hops in the finish. Really nice.

2010 version. lots of strawberries and oranges and candycanes. Hardly any bourbon notes. Too sweet, not balanced. Very hoppy. Overall enjoyable, but needs more time to meld together. I think they should have held on for one more year before releasing.

bottle(thanks to Savvy1982!) at my leaving FL throwdown(17Dec10)pours light brown with a thin to medium tan head. Aroma is rye and smoke/peat. Flavor is sweet overall with some alcohol heat, the rye is reserved but nice and complements the sweet caramel/toffee notes. Kind of reminds me of molasses bread.

Highly carbonated, big frothy white head. Two malts really shine. I can tell this is a Canadian brew. Nice Saaz hops in the nose with some buscuity malts. Well balanced. Firm dry finish. Essentially a well made dry hoppy pils. Nice.

Semi-sweet chocolate with traces of coffee. Some dark fruits in periphery but i find overall the flavor to be timid.
