Peabody's in Boone, NC had the Event Horizon in their inventory. Thanks again!

A - Pours black with a slight medium brown foam. Light does not penetrate this beer.

S - The malts come through with hints of honey used in making this beer. A slight smell of sweetness and alcohol is present as well. I did get some slight bitter scent which must be the hops.

T - Bourbon, malts, hops, honey, and a sting of alcohol come through each taste which is awesome. An aftertaste of hops, bourbon, honey, and alcohol all with a richness of an imperial stout.

M - A great feel of this complex beer that it requires that time be taken to enjoy the taste, aftertaste, and the post aftertastes/scents that accompany good beers such a this.

O - I would recommend this beer to everyone and to let this beer warm some and if you can let it age in your brew frig. A definite must try! Nice job Olde Hickory, keep up the good work!

Another good beer Sunday
I have high hopes for this one, big honey fan and have been craving a good BB stout
2012 poured down the middle into snifter
A - jet black in, forms a great looking thin mocha with some burnt orange higlights, really good looking
S - the bourbon hit me befoe I even got it to my nose. smell is all the usual suspects, bourbon, molasses, coffee, booze etc etc; wheres the honey??
T - bourbon, dark bitter chocolate, fresh quality coffe end note. Given the style its dead on.
M - the most impressive part of this beer for me is the mouthfeel. creamy goodness!
O - overall, i was hoping for a BB honey bomb but the honey just wasnt there for me. Forget the honey and I have to say its a great beer. definilty worth seeking out and I wouldnt pass up getting another bottle of this to see how it does after a few years. a trade partner recently said he prefers thier standard I.S. over the Horizon, so that and Lindley Park are my next project
