Truly a treat. Heavy bourbon flavor

So much oak, bourbon, and chocolate. This is a sweet and smooth beer with an extremely long finish.

Good coffee and chocolate notes

Just barely note the alcohol taste at 13%. Verges on a strong Scottish ale.

Amazing!! Not too boozy compared to other ones I've had. Delicious chocolate finish

2013. Amazing, possibly the best beer I have had. It's very boozy, but in the best way. There are coffee notes, chocolate, bourbon, oak, but the most glorious note is the pronounced English toffee that lingers through the finish. Look forward to having it again next year. Had at Cam and Lynae's new apartment, bottle.

Chocolate and bourbon!!! Finishes with coffee and hints of vanilla and cherry. Big oak component. Boozy yet smooth

Moderate tan head sits atop of this black as night stout. The aroma is intoxicating and extremely complex. Bourbon, coffee, chocolate, oak, vanilla, dark fruits with almost a red wine aroma. Taste is even more complex and changes as it warms. Your taste buds will explode as you experience waves of red wine, then vanilla, then bourbon, then chocolate, then dark fruit, then coffee. You get something different at each sip. Lots of depth here. This is the best and most complex stout I have ever had. In my opinion it is better than both KBS and CBS. World class. So happy that I have a 2012 aging

Big body. Slight carb but still smooth. Coffee, chocolate, roasted malt. Alc is a bit harsh. 3.8
