On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad in Carlsbad, CA.
Pours an opaque black with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to an oily film on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cocoa, vanilla, wood, and bourbon. Taste is much the same with an alcohol kick and a mild amount of roasty bitterness on the palate after each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a very good beer that is really tasty and drinkable.

a: Black with a very tan lacing around the edge of the glass
s: mainly bourbon and a strong chocolate nose. Small hints of vanilla
t: The bourbon is fairly strong tasting, but not in an intense heat way, very smooth. Some bitterness and herbal notes come in from what I suspect are the hops, which is a pleasant surprise from a blend of bal aged beers. This gives the beer spiced rum notes, which I find very enjoyable. There is also a lot of chocolate, and a little bit of vanilla and oak.
m: Sharp carbonation which helps with the drinkability. There is a little alcohol burn, but very good for the style and ABV. Overall a creamy and smooth, this beer goes down really well
o: I wish I could have had more than the one glass. Though this beer makes for a great sipper, it is also an easy drinking beer.
Cheers to Bagby and all the great things he has done for PP and SD. May his future endeavors continue to kick ass

I heard this was pretty good, so I flew down to San Diego for a few hours to tick it.
Appearance: Dark crimson body with a low level of carbonation.
Smell: Vanilla and dark fruit (dates, prunes), bourbon -bals with a smattering of brandy. Brown sugar, faint booze. Smells absolutely delicious.
Palate: Leather and tobacco, dates, vanilla and sweet, toffee-like bourbon, a touch of cocoa and roasted malt. Medium-full body with low carbonation. An interesting blend of flavors - comes off as a barleywine/imperial stout hybrid, reminiscent of Firestone 10.
Overall: Another excellent beer from some of the best brewers in the world.
