look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

Had poured on tap at the Bruery Provisions in Orange, CA. Poured in a 5 oz tulip glass. Reviewed from notes. Part of a flight.

A- Thin mocha head. Came with no real retention. Lacing was big and fluffy.

S- Chocolate, very strongly. Also some vanilla and something darker, like asphalt.

T- Super chocolatey, with bourbon and vanilla notes. Possibly some caramel as well.

M- Thick and very smooth. Like chocolate syrup.

O- My girlfriend could drink this one, and she hates beer. So that's something interesting.

Serving type: on-tap

look: 4.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

holy shit, you need to prepare yourself for one huge beer here. Heavy dark and sweet, tons of alcohol and lots of complexity just like a good Russian Imperial Stout should. Looks black and thick as used oil with thin khaki head. The smell is one of my favorite parts, brown sugar, walnuts, coffee, maple. Taste is intense, super sweet, but surprisingly little booze. Chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts. This is an intense RIS. Very very good.

A huge thanks to Todd for this bottle!
Bottle #3819/5360 from the 2012 Vintage.
Poured in to snifter.

A - Black with a thin layer of light brown head that immediately reduced to a thin ring around the edges of the glass.

S - A huge bourbon aroma up front with lots of charred oak and vanilla from the barrel treatment. Chocolate fudge and a hint of sweet molasses also come through in the nose.

T - A huge cocoa flavour hits the tongue first and immediately gives way to charred oak, bourbon and vanilla flavours from the barrel. Mid-palate adds roast, licorice and chocolate fudge with some sweet molasses in the finish. The ABV is warming throughout but very well hidden considering the ABV.

M - Full bodied. Thick and chewy. Light carbonation.

Bottle shared by nasty31 in a snifter

A - Dark chocolate brown with light maroon edges on the side

S - Bourbon, chocolate, light vanilla, light dark prune. Really bourbon forward in the nose

T - Vanilla, chocolate, lots of coffee, light sweet cream, and light bourbon in it. Finish is bitter coffee. Nice balance but definitely a bourbon forward beer!

M - Thick, chocolate body with creamy body. However the finish seems to be a bit astringent brought on by the booze and coffee flavors

O - This is a good beer overall.; however, there is so much bourbon in it that it slightly overpowers the rest of the beer

Reviewed from notes. bottle 3272/3495, 2011 vintage. Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a Half Acre snifter.

A- Pours black with a 1 finger tan head. Small bubbles along the edge of the glass.

S- Huge fudge with some chocolate, lots of vanilla and some bourbon.

T- Wow! again tons of fudge, chocolate, vanilla, and bourbon.

M- Full body and medium carbonation. Has a syrupy feel.

O- Very good beer. Huge fudge bomb with lots of vanilla, bourbon and booze comes out more as it warms.
