Very sweet smell, makes your nosebuds pucker- if that’s something that can actually happen. Can smell hints of the bourbon barrel. Taste initially is slightly harsh, but the mellowing effect of the barrel kicks in and smooths out out. Leaves a slight bourbon/malt aftertaste. Not too strong of bourbon, but if you can’t stand it you might want to avoid this one.
5 out of 5 stars.
Double milk stout by description. Sweet, dry aroma with hints if dark malt flavor waiting. Sharp sweet taste, immediately followed by a very strong dark malt flavor. Malt flavor fades out slowly. Street hitting hard and sweet up front, the dark malt comes in and balances out fairly well. You don’t really notice the high alcohol content.

Dark sweet aroma with bourbon hints, but not overpowering at all. Sweet, dark, slight bourbon taste, very well balanced. Finishes with that dark sweet taste lingering a bit before being replaced by a dark malt taste. Delicious, but you have to be in the right mood. Perfect for today’s overcast weather. Bottled on 10/12/13, I drank it on 11/17/13. I’ve read about people cellaring this and such, but I must say it’s delicious one month after bottling.

Pours out of the bottle like dark used motor oil out of an engine. Sweet, slightly barrel aged” smell. Sharp but thick taste of a very high alcohol stout. Finishes with a slightly sweet dark malt taste and a minor burn like you just sipped a teaspoon of bourbon. In the end, a bit too harsh and “raisin-y” for my taste.

Very thick, rich aroma. Flavor has a very sharp bite (90 IBU according to the bottle). Then has coffee hints which fade off to a strong hop and roast malt flavor. Kind of leaves a chocolate flavor in your mouth, but a dark chocolate flavor-not a milk chocolate.

Really harsh. Overly sweet with harsh coffee aftertaste.
