Lexington, Kentucky, USA
Stout brewed with coffee and aged in oak barrels with
Haitian coffee
8% abv
$3.55 a bottle
12oz bottle
Appearance: black body with a half finger tan head that did
not stay around long; no lacing; spotty lacing with each sip and it slowly
slides down the glass to nothing; no syrupy legs
Aroma: just opened the bottle so maybe it has not warmed up
to display the bouquet; nothing; just plain old nothing; weak watered down
coffee at best; no bourbon here; went to my cellar got a bottle of bourbon for
I thought maybe I forgot what it smelled like; yep, no bourbon on the nose; no
roasted notes that a stout should have nothing, just plain ol’ nothing
Flavors: some charred oak; no bourbon; thin on the flavors
if there are any;
Mouthfeel: this is a stout; has the body of a black lager; fine
fizzy carbonation; thin body; light bitter diner coffee;
To the Point: I would not even give this to someone as an
introductory Bourbon Barrel Stout; Shit I bought two bottles of this crap; If
they called this ‘Charred Oak Black Lager’ okay I would give it a B; for a Bourbon
Barrel Stout – I’ll give it a D all day long;
At $3.55 a bottle for this dirty water go and buy: KBS,
Siberian Night BB; Goose Island Bourbon Country; Arcadia Shipwreck Porter is
great for the money; I say, don’t buy it and buy something good.
This stuff is so bad that I don't won't to even bet on the Kentucky Derby and I never miss that opportunity.
