22oz bottle. Used a snifter. Pours a black color with ½ inch tan head very full and thick retention. Nose is light oak, vanilla and chocolate hints. Taste is very close to a regular sweet stout. With a very mild oak vanilla whiskey from the Barrel Age I pickup in the front side of the sip. Nothing over the top, that some people maybe expecting. Very subtle. It comes out much more as the beer hits room temperature yet still light. One negative is the body is pretty thin. Short dry finish. Cost $6.99 @ Gary’s Beverage in Portsmouth, NH.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a nice light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of light vanilla and lactose with notes of roasted malt. Taste is also a nice mix between some lactose heavy roasted malt with light touch of vanilla, bourbon is not a key player for this beer. Body is quite full with creamy body and medium carbonation. Very well brewed and something I would love to have again thought bourbon could have been a bit more pronounced.

i try to be as objectional about english ipa’s as possible, and most american english-style ipa’s are really good up front, its the second half of the pint that gets a little annoying. once your palate gets used to the hops, its the malts that start to get that sickly sweet, almost nutrisweet flavor that is in no way appetizing or satisfying, it just tastes artificial.

22 oz bottle bought at brew pub. Light amber, somewhat translucent. Lightly carbonated. Nice small off-white head. Nose of malt and yeast. Taste of roasted grain, and a VERY light hop finish. A nice creamy mouthfeel that makes it easy to drink. Nothing complex but a nice lighter beer to enjoy if you don’t want something heavy. I would drink again.

On draft at brewpub in Gorham, ME. Color was caramel brown with a thin white head that left nice lacing. Aroma was of piney hops. Taste mirrors the aroma. However there was no hop bitterness which made it smooth to drink. I would drink again and was surprised on how flavorful it was.

On draft @ Brew pub in Gorham.Poured with a small, lasting, beige head. Some lacing. Heavy malt, roasted coffee, and a touch of chocolate as well. Pleasant to your nose. Taste is similar to the aroma. Average carbonation. Has a creamy yet dry finish. I can drink a 6 pack with ease, It’s worth a try if you can get a fresh bottle. I would buy again.

I enjoyed on draft @ the Barley Pub ! Served in a snifter. Dark brown with a thin bit of beige head. Held to the light you can see a red hue around the edges. The lacing was thick. Aroma of dark chocolate, some coffee, perhaps a trace of molasses. Mouthfeel smooth but a bit thin and sticky on the back end.Flavor is complex. Up front you get a roasted malt taste. Plus you can get the alcohol. I get a maple syrup flavor in the middle of the sip; the finish has a light non- bitter hop finish. I really enjoyed this brew.
