Keith L.: Taste: Piney resinous hops, medium bitter. Caramel malt. Hoppy burps. Tastes like an old school West Coast IPA!
Keith L.: Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is lively & just slightly foamy/biting at the back of the palate. A wee bit of palate wrecking hop astringency

Keith L.: Aroma: Vanilla & coconut from the Bourbon Barrels. Cherry. After warming: spicy (mint?), herbal, medicinal (some might say cough syrup?)
Keith L.: Tastes as sweet as some meads I've tried, but not cloying. Vanilla/Coconut from the Bourbon Barrels. No bitterness.
Keith L.: Bourbon, Cherry, Sweet combo is working for me. Alcohol drying finish with a bit of astringency. Aftertaste doesn't leave any impression.
Keith L.: Medium mouthfeel but not syrupy despite the sweetness. Oily. Medium carbonation.
Keith L.: Overall: Enjoyed this cold to warm. Sweet enough to be served as a dessert on it's own. Very unique! Solid 4.25 rating!

Keith L.: Aroma: A lot of vanilla & coconut from the Bourbon Barrels! I could smell it from an arm's length away!
Keith L.: If you can get underneath all that bourbon, there's some lacto tart Berliner Weisse aroma & some fruitiness in there.
Keith L.: Taste: Again, prominent vanilla & coconut from the Bourbon Barrels! Slight tartness. Citrusy. Taste is changing with temperature.
Keith L.: Reminds me of a cocktail. Finish/Aftertaste: Subtle lacto tartness. Alcohol drying. Very slight alcohol warming. A bit of astringency.

Keith L.: Aroma: Char, smoke, tar. Dark fruit, especially when swirled at warmer temperatures. A bit of paper/cardboard/Trans-2-Nonenal.
Keith L.: Very balanced taste. Hint of fig. Nice moderate~high bitterness. Long lingering bitter chocolate aftertaste. Would've liked more sweetness.
Keith L.: No hint of 9%, no alcohol warming. Mouthfeel is rich creamy viscous oily full bodied. Did thin out slightly warm. Gentle medium carbonation.
Keith L.: Overall: Straight forward no frills old fashioned Imperial Stout. Should pair well either vanilla ice cream or sweet chocolate dessert.
Keith L.: Some slight dried apricot on the nose but other than that, couldn't get much aroma out of this.
