A little disappointed, not quite what I wanted from an RIS. Kind of sweet, not completely black. Try chilled next time.

Definitely had the "off flavors". Barrel is in the aroma, not the flavor. Not at all unpleasant as a sour ale, tastes like tart cherries. You get some of the rich flavors for just the first instant it hits your tongue but then transitions to the sour. Flavor is less pleasant as it warms. Not what it should be. Drink cold and it will be OK. I can get sours at much less than 13% abv and that's not what it should be anyway. At least I got my money back. Might be worth just dumping the other bottle in favor, considering the opportunity cost.

This is insanely good. Pure dessert. Hops barely present compared to the 2017 at this point. Not sure how much to attribute to vintage vs. age.

Drank a bottle with a dessert consisting of butterscotch pudding and homemade shortbread. Really brought out the "American" style. Hops were much more prevalent when consumed with sweeter foods. Still amazing every time.

Best just below room temperature.

Keep this one chilled. It's better when refrigerator cold.

Held up remarkably well, much better than the 2016 I opened the same night. Rich malty depth and retains more barrel than bourbon. Still, it showed its age, not a beer that needs cellaring. Sad to see CW let this one go.

I like it chilled a bit, now, but not 44 degrees or anything. As good as it gets for me.
2016-08-27
The best.

This is just my favorite beer. So rich and sweet, but not alcohol sweet. Smooth and delicious.

Bourbon had faded significantly after 9 months. It's still there but more in the background. It's smoother overall but I really liked the big bourbon presence.
Drank 12 oz of Special Double Cream Stout by Bell's Brewery, Inc. (2015-11-04)February 3rd, 2016

Super roast, burnt flavor but not coffee-ish. Velvety mouthfeel. It's fine but I'd rather have a Guinness.
