750 mL bottle poured into a snifter.

Appearance - Inky viscous black. Not much head. A few surface wisps.

Smell - Bourbon is very strong. Lots of liquor. Vanilla and fudge all throughout. Awesome

Taste - Even more bourbon. Less fudgy, but still delicious. Bourbon flavor throughout. A little bit of fruitiness. Boozy.

Mouthfeel - Boozy. Thick and viscous. Low carbonation.

Overall - Straightforward fudge and bourbon. Good stuff.

Thanks to kscaldef for this bottle, 750ML, split with my wife. 2011 vintage.

Pour is black as any plastic computer keyboard. Carbonation is low but evident. Nose is luscious chocolate cake, with nice sideboard of vanilla. Oak big enough to threaten your house in a high wind. Great nose.

Super Nebula brings a constellation of...no, that's dumb. Even after elapsed time, coffee & roast is on this with every tentacle, big dose of both right in the kisser. Plenty of chocolate of course. Vanilla, more of that lovely oak, bourbon has dropped to the level of subtle, but it dominates the aftertaste as a tongue-number. Really nice aftertaste. Sips like a stout half it's weight. Looks good in yoga pants, too.

Very good beer. Has an odd note that I tasted in the other Block 15 beer I had too, & I can't quite put my finger on it. Definitely worth trying.

2013 bottle split two ways on 4.7.13

A - Pours a dark motor oil black with a very small dark brown head that sticks to the glass.

S - Lot of bourbon, chocolate, and some subtle vanilla.

T - Similar to the nose. It hits you in stages; Bourbon, Chocolate and then some light vanilla.

D - Lower carbonation with a heavier body.

O - A really treat. Layers of Pappy bourbon barrels, vanill and chocolate. How can you beat that?

22oz bottle poured into a snifter. Thanks for this one Andy!

A: Pretty standard for a barrel aged stout. Pitch black/dark brown with a small mocha head that recedes after a few minutes. After that it keeps a tiny head.

S: TONS of oak and bourbon. Smells boozy. A bit of rubbing alcohol at the end. Chocolate, coffee, and caramel save it from the burning alcohol smell.

T: Not as hot as the smell suggests. Boozy chocolate, oaky flavors. Roasty flavor dominates. Touch of vanilla, coffee and caramel. Chocolatey bitterness in the aftertaste.

M: Silky smooth. Medium/thick bodied with moderate carbonation.

O: This is a great beer, I've been impressed by Block 15 so far. Can't wait to try more of their beers.

2013 release, 750 ml. cork and cage bottle into snifter. Nice label.

Pours thick and black with a nice creamy chocolate head. A quick swirl leaves dark lacing on the sides of the glass.

Aroma includes dark chocolate, vanilla and bourbon. Secondary notes of leather and tobacco.

Taste is rich. Lots of chocolate and bourbon, with honey and vanilla as well. Velvety smooth but with serious a bourbon kick. Could sip on this for hours. After some time in the glass the leather and tobacco notes come through and meld with the bourbon to really take this to the next level. Slow sipper.

The creamy texture is big part of this beer. The oatmeal rounds out the heat of the bourbon.

My favorite bourbon barrel stout from Oregon. Block 15 nailed it with the 2013 Super Nebula. The only thing better than having this in the bottle is having it on nitro tap at Les Caves!

Doopie pulled this one out as part of a Bock15 theme night. Cheers for the brews dude!

From a 750 into a snifter
Vintage: 2011

APPEARANCE: A clear brown pour yields a one finger, looser, fizzy, light mocha head with decent retention. Head fades to a wisp and ring. Black body with medium levels of carbonation evident. Huge stream of bubbles up the center as well. A foamy ring remains until the end but leaves no lacing down the glass.

SMELL: Lots of milk and dark chocolate on the nose, bourbon, oak, vanilla and smoky notes as well. Bold stuff for sure, with lots of nice chocolate fudge brownies, roasted malts and barrel notes. Aromatic and interesting.

TASTE: Oak and bourbon up front, with dark chocolate and smoky, roasted malts through the middle into the swallow. Lots of base beer still. Finish is big and boozy, with lots of bourbon, vanilla, chocoalte and roasted, smoky malts. Quite flavorful, and while the barrel is quite big, the base beer is anything but outdone. Nice stuff.

PALATE: Medium body and medium levels of carbonation. Slightly light on the palate, unfortunately, and not quite as creamy as hoped. A little prickly actually, but goes down okay, finishing slightly sticky. A bit of heat lingers as well. Passable, but a little more weight would help not only the feel itself, but would push the flavor to the next level.

OVERALL: This was great, but the look and feel kept it from being as impressive as it wants to be. Lots of nice barrel notes and a base beer that can compete, this is a very good example of bourbon barrel aging done right. Good stuff Doops. Bock15 night was good times!

On tap at Beermongers

A: Black of blackness. Or, you know, normal for an RIS. Pretty good mocha head defers to a ring.

N: Heavy fudge and chocolate. Coffee and cream. Bourbon rises up as this warms.

T: Fudge, bourbon, vanilla, coconut, and tons of roasted coffee beans. There's plenty of pepper from the oak, and I really get a lot of the Buffalo Trace lost barrels this was aged in at the back end of the palate. There is definitely some alcohol sharpness here.

M: Good, oily mouthfeel. Coats the palate rather nicely.

O: I've told a couple people this was one my favorite beers ever, and it holds true: on nitro. On tap, I was a bit letdown this wasn't as gigantic and huge as the aforementioned, but I think this is partially because the non-nitro version has a ways to go before some of the alcohol disappears leaving this complex stout to shine.

Thanks! Snifter.

A: Now, that is black. A finger of dark brown foam crowns the liquid.

S: The nose really opens up after ten minutes. There's a pretty awesome amalgamation of caramel, cocoa, bourbon, and vanilla going on. The aroma is boozy but inoffensive. Plum meets grape, it's somewhat port-like. Pleasantly roasty with molasses, brown sugar, coffee (restrained), and almond-like nutty notes.

T: Huge cocoa presence with notes of fudge. Rich and tasty yet terrible in its potential to make me miss obligations tom morrow morning. Dark fruit notes bring to mind grape, plum, and prune. Bourbon is present throughout, blending with oak and restrained vanilla notes. I'm picking up a very light tartness on the back end. The beer has a pervasive bitter coffee profile that borders on acridity, it's also rather boozy, though neither quality deters this advocate.

M: Full in body with upper low to lower moderate carbonation. The mouthfeel is sticky, chewy, viscous, and smooth with some warming on the palate.

Overall: A nice barrel aged Imperial Stout with a great aroma and a very nice cocoa presence in both flavor and aroma. There's a lot of alcohol flavor, but I think positive attributes partially offset that aspect of the beer.

big thanks to hannont for hooking this up. enjoyed from my southampton IRS snifter.

a - de-caged and popped the cork, the brew poured like a black hole with a finger of milk chocolate creamy head that hung out for quite some time. it slowly thinned out, but remained a consistent thickness...pretty wild. swirling the glass left some spotty lacing that slid down the side of the glass...mostly oily and didn't leave much evidence that it was there.

s - malty with a really strong boozy smell. some cocoa nibs in the background, but booze is in the front. not so much bourbon as much as moonshine type smell.

t - flavor doesn't carry the heat that the nose suggests. this is a smooth and chocolate heavy stout with a great silkiness. the barrel definitely adds booze as opposed to bourbon. i don't get the wood so much or the buffalo trade, i get more vodka like alcohol. the afterfeel, however is divine. the more i sip the beer, the more the alc taste turns to some charred and bourbon wood. the chocolate is well balanced and very pleasant.

m - upon first sip, the thing that stood out above all was the feel. smooth and silky. but like no other. when i say that this beer has possibly the best feel of any beer that i've ever tried, i say it with sincerity. silk down the gullet. wonderful soft velvety thickness to it. truly a masterpiece in the feel dept. far and away, the BEST feel of a beer i've ever tried. the aftervibe is amazing and carries a good wood presence with some bourbon. my mouth just feels wonderful.

o - overall, this is an interesting brew. the feel is far and away the highlight. best mouth feel in any beer i have ever had, hands down. something magical about it in this beer. there is a great chocolatiness in this beer. it is quite solid, but in the land of BA stouts, this carries the limited availability and goodness, but doesn't stand up to some of the big boys in the style.

Huge thanks to ArchEnemyBrew for this beer in a trade!

drank 4/20/12. reviewed from notes.

poured into oversized snifter.

Appearance: dark oily black bodied beer with a dense almost two fingers head rusulting from an aggresive pour. Decent lacing coats the side of the glass. The head drops down to a ring around the beer glass.

Smell: really nice smelling BA Imperial Stout with barrel notes that are balanced very well with the stout. Nothing thats unique from the nose, but it sure smells good.

Taste: The beer starts off almost moderately sweet. Prominent notes of milk chocolate, vanilla, and bourbon. Hints of oak, coconut, molasses, smoke, and some earthiness is hiding in the back. The beer has a mild bitterness and roastiness to it as you reach the middle of the beer. Then the beer finishes with more chocolate that is well balanced between sweet and bitter with some roast and smoke lingering around with the chocolate. Really well integrated BA stout with nice complexity.

Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer with low carbonation levels that is fairly close to a moderate carbonation level. Silky, slick, creamy, mellow, and smooth. Practically no boozey heat to this beer and the alcohol is so well hidden it rediculous!

Overall: This is a really wonderful BA Imperial Stout. The beer has it all going on. Big robust stout and barrel notes, mellow & silky mouthfeel and it looks nice in the glass! Block 15 really impressed me with this stout!

Chilled bottle into a glass. Opened as part of my St. Paddy's Day celebration. We're all a little Irish...

Generously gifted to me by ramnuts. Thanks, Frank!

A: This pours a black, oily body as you'd expect from the style. Short-lived mocha colored head.

S: This is dominantly roasty, with a rough cocoa nib aroma that adds an earthy, bitter element to the otherwise caramelly bourbon and vanilla nose. Small hints of oak and coffee. Solid.

T: This is boozier than the nose suggested. Roast and bourbon dominate, with lesser elements of coffee and cocoa. Vanilla, oak, and a touch of molasses in the finish, with a small, lingering booze aftertaste.

M: Medium-bodied. Carbonation is good for the style, if a bit low. My biggest complaint is the booze, but it doesn't completely kill the beer.

O: I wouldn't put it in the top tier (aged BCBS, Rare, and a few others go in those spots), but I'd put this as a solid mid-tier alternative to something like Eclipse. I liked it. I haven't been totally wowed by anything from Block 15 yet, but I feel they're on the verge of greatness.

Thanks to HeyCurly3 for a chance to taste this one! Sampled 3.3.12. Reviewed from notes. Poured into a Duck-Rabbit snifter.

A - black and oily with only a cinnamon colored, bubbly ring for a head; light, spotty lacing

S - toffee, whiskey, peat, fresh earth

T - rum, toffee, chocolate, warming alcohol, blackberry, molasses

M - thick and chewy with moderate carbonation; chocolaty, slightly bitter aftertaste

O - extremely tasty and unique imperial stout. nice barrel level. bold, rich flavors that are featured by the Buffalo Trace rather than covered up by it. the earthy, blackberry flavors are outstanding. highly recommended!

Another awesome pour from a generous ba in line at KBS release.

The look is deep, dark chocolate colored. Less than an inch of carMel colored head. Spotty lace.

The nose is pretty damn sweet with molasses, vanilla, and butterscotch. Minimal heat. Nice levels of aromas.

The tastes are similar but with a boozy, warming taste that has cocoa, caramel, and charred oak. Great barrel characteristics here.

Mouthfeel is medium-thick with low carb. Quite comfortable.

Overall, enjoyable, well balanced, and quite drinkable. Decent bba stout.

A - Motor oil black with a mocha colored head. Not a lot of retention, but moderate amount of lacing.

S - Boozy bourbon aroma dominates with a little bit of vanilla and roasted malt.

T - An incredibly smooth combination of bourbon, cocoa, and coffee flavors. The 11% abv was not detectable and it has a somewhat vanilla-ish sweet aftertaste.

M - Medium bodied and moderate amount of carbonation. A little watery for an imperial stout, though it doesn't detract much from it.

O - A great, smooth beer that will knock you out quickly with its alcohol content. Not for everyone as the bourbon aroma and flavors were definitely quite strong.

Thanks Starr, I enjoyed this. Beer is black with a thin cap of a brown head, small bubbles, low carbonation, low retention no lacing.

ARoma is sweet, vanilla, a little roast, nice.

Beer is medium in body and syrupy up front withi nice vanilla character in the midpalate, not great but a decent finish and an overall decent stout. I might have it again.

On-tap at the Hop and Vine. Poured into snifter. Reviewed from notes.

A- Pours an opaque black with a one-finger dark tan/light mocha creamy head. Head sticks around for a couple minutes before it dissipates to a thick creamy crown. Some lacing is left behind.

S- The bourbon barrel characteristics are the first thing that grab a hold of my nose. Bourbon, vanilla, coconut and subtle oak notes combine to create a really pleasing aroma. A slightly stinging booziness hits the nose too. Underneath all of that, I pick up sweet caramel, chocolate and roasted malts. I pick up a trace of molasses as the beer warms. The aroma is outstanding.

T- More bourbon, vanilla and coconut in the taste. Some coffee elements show themselves that I didn't really pick up in the aroma. Subtle roasty base with milk chocolate notes on the back end.

M- Full body with light carbonation. The body is bold and rich but also smooth. The alcohol is definitely present but it's not overwhelming.

O- Fantastic beer. A nice complexity to this beer that allows it to stand out. Reminds me a little of the Velvet Merkin I had at the PDX Holiday Fest. This is a must try if you find yourself in Corvallis or anywhere else in Oregon you can find it. I'd like to see what this beer becomes with some age.

Big thanks to starrdogg for sharing this at last night's tasting. Served in a SAVOR wine glass.

Pours black with a small head and some sparse lacing. The nose carries moderate smoke and a good bit of chocolate. Roast comes through in the background. The flavor has the same smoke character along with a roasted malt and chocolate background. Medium-full body and quite hot. Not a super nebula sort of beer, but pretty good.

Poured into Block 15 Tulip @ Block 15 1 day after release

A - Pours an opaque black w/ 1 finger brown head that fades to a thick cap, leaves great lacing, mesmerizing brew.

S - Smells of chocolate, vanilla, coconut, cherries, coffee, oak, caramel.

T - Taste follows the nose, bitter chocolate, vanilla, coffee, cherries, oak, toffee, apples

M - Big, rich, full body, sweet but not cloying, spicy finish that is quite warming, but not at all hot, slightly bitter in the end

O - Very well done. Rich & complex, bourbon and imp stout very balanced, neither one out does the other, too drinkable, wish they still had bottles to take home and age.

Had a sample during a recent trip to Block 15.

Pours a beautiful dark brown with a thin, tan lacing head.

Smells amazing. Strong coffee at the nose with roasted malt, molasses, vanilla and chocolate. Small amount of hops come through, slight hints of boozy whiskey flavors as well.

Tastes like coffee with slight booze. Lots of malt flavor but mostly burnt malt, coffee and a small amount of chocolate. Very sweet.

The mouthfeel is thick from sweetness, but come on. It's 11%. For how strong it is, this stuff is very well balanced. It's very easy to finish a pint or a bottle of this stuff.

Overall one of the best imperial stouts I have ever had. And that's saying a lot.

Draft version served at the Wildwood beer dinner. After a full meal and 6 previous beers, this beer still asserted itself and impressed most of us at the beer dinner.

The beer pours a blackish brown color with considerable lacing and impressive head retention. On the nose, I get considerable dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, tobacco and vanilla. The flavor profile replicates the nose, with the licorice and dark chocolate clearly dominating. There's more than enough going on in this beer so that one is not overwhelmed by the sweetness and considerable alcohol. On the finish, I pick up some bourbon, along with some light bitterness which helps to counter the sweetness. The bitterness dries out the sweetness on the finish in this very full, very smooth and long RIS. Alcohol is noticeable, but is not at all intrusive in this fine stout.

Very impressive RIS from the folks at Block 15.

From 2/18/13. Sample again at the recent Hop and Vine release event, and if anything, the current version is super to what I sampled previously. The beer just seems richer and more decadent, and there seemed to be a lot more bourbon on the nose and palate this time around (a good thing in my book). This is a really fine beer, competing now with some of the better stouts made (Dark Lord, Kate, KBS, BCBS; yes, it REALLY IS that good!).

Recently on a trip to Corvallis I was lucky enough to be able to head into Block 15 and try this on tap. Was served in a Block 15 snifter.

S: The nose contains a nice bit of dark chocolate with small bourbon and vanilla notes, along with a nice roast character.

A: It had a beautiful tannish, bourbon barrel, colored foam. It had a smooth mouth feel which coated the mouth and allowed for the flavor to open up as it went down the back of the throat.

T: This beer was probably one of the best BA Stouts I have ever had. Everything came together perfectly, nothing was overshadowed each flavor was allowed to come out on their own. With the first sip you get a really nice bourbon vanilla, and as it is rushing to the back of the mouth a rich dark chocolate roast is coming out from the Cacao Nibs. The malt gives a rich coffee like roast as well.

Overall, I really love the careful attention to detail in the barrel aging it shows the experience of this upcoming brewery. It is unfortunate I cannot take a growler home with me but I am hoping this will be bottle in the future, because I would sign up for a full case right now. I dont believe this one should be aged it is amazing now, but with age I believe more of the vanilla bourbon character will come out and lose the rich dark chocolate roast rich compliments it. By far the best BA Stout I have had to date.

Sampled at Block 15 night at Hop & Vine in Portland Oregon. A snifter with 10 ounces of barrel aged stout in it for $4? Sounds like a deal to me.

A: Very dark brown with lighter tan edges. Upon being served, a thin amount of cappuccino foam sat atop a quickly bubbled away to a very thin wisp ring.

S: Strong coffee aromas when it was very cold, much stronger essences of spicy bourbon with under-currents of fudge brownie came through as it warmed. Damn their -bals are nice.

T: Again with the strong coffee when cold but transitioning to some stronger caramel liquor, berry, and cocoa notes when it warmed. I swear there is only about a 2 degree window when some smoke is detectable. In that temperature range, this beer is sublime.

M: Low carbonation and full mouthfeel here. Right inside my personal wheel house.

D: My first experience with Block 15 beers tonight and I must say, this was the only one I found to be impressive. I will be paying close attention to this brewery from now on but only because of this singular, highly memorable beer. Well done guys. Bottle this soon!

This beer had a thin, light, milk chocolate head right after it was poured. By the time I noticed I was half way through, the head was gone. After I took my first sip, I was pleasantly surprised. I tasted coffee with chocolate fudge chunk flavored ice cream, a true woman's delight. After it had warmed, it tasted more like a 50/50 or Parabola, which is also quite pleasing. Overall, I enjoyed this beer from beginning to end. I was pleasantly surprised with every sip. Get you some!
