12oz bottle poured into a snifter.
A: Black pour with a beige head. Good retention, wispy rings of lacing.
S: Fatty cocoa nibs, moderate roastiness, quick hint of cherry cola and dark fruit, faint whiff of smoke. Oak and rye whiskey start off subdued, but come out more as it warms.
T: Rye barrel is forward in taste. It brings a fair amount of oak and the familiar sweet and spicy rye in a bold but not hot kind of way. Fatty cocoa nibs show up in big way too, and immediately follow on the tail of the barrel flavors. Hints of roasted malt and smoke are rather subdued. Bit of cola. The barrel flavors never really back down from start to finish, so the ending notes are still rye and oak.
M: Medium-full body. It feels lithe and easy, with a pleasant creaminess. Well carbonated with some moderate scrubbing and lifting action.
O: This is one bold little beer. Not the most complex or balanced beer since the barrel really runs away with the show, but on the other hand it delivers on what it promises and does so with grace. It’s almost criminal how easily it drinks for such a barrel-forward brew. No heat, and no problems coming back sip after sip.

Great body for a porter with exceptional rye barrel coming through. Chocolate presence appropriate and not turning this into a dessert ale. Slight bitterness, boozy, good longevity for the style.

12oz bottle with 2019 notch and no visible date stamp poured into a tulip glass at just above fridge temp, no ABV listed on label. The beer pours dark brown with limited light penetration and a meager medium brown colored head. The head recedes to a pencil thin ring and leaves no lacing. The aroma is mild and features chocolate, oaky barrel and roasted malt. The taste is a bittersweet tapestry of chocolate, rye whiskey, barrel tannins, roasted malt and coffee, punctuated with a slightly boozy, slightly bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with just less than medium carbonation. The rye whiskey and oaky barrel notes really dry out the finish. Overall, very good to excellent imperial porter.

From a growler, filled yesterday.
Very dark brown, almost black, with slight tan head, that leaves a 1/8" ring.
Smell is chocolate, rye bread, and light whiskey.
Taste is mostly dark chocolate, a light roasted nut flavor, slight bread crust, oak, boozy vanilla, and whiskey . Light rye spiciness , and light bitterness, linger past finish.
Feel is medium, slick, and slightly oily, with light, soft carbonation.Actually seems light for the abv. Very slight internal warming - none on the palate. Alcohol is almost invisible.
Overall , enjoyable and dangerously easy-drinking . Reminds me of aged KBS. The price is nice, too ($7.50/32oz) , making it a good value. I'd get it again.

Pours a light fizzy smaller tan colored head that fades quickly and reveals some weird floating brown sludge on top, really weird sludge, especially since it floats on top, that I will remove before continuing... very dark almost black color with a little brown light coming through
After removing the strange protein coagulate, I nose in... lots of whiskey and barrel notes, raw whiskey with some spicy rye notes, sweet candy chocolate, cocoa, some vanilla barrel and toasted oak, a little fudge, some roasted coffee, black roasted malt, a hint of toasted nuts and baking spices
Taste brings rich dark chocolate and cocoa out front, a bit fudgey as well, into toasted nuts, general nutty with mild baking spices, a hint of licorice, some whiskey and alcohol in the middle, not as much whiskey as the nose, with some mild rye whiskey spicy characters, vanilla barrel and a little toasted buttery oak, some dark fruity esters late, a bit of caramel and roasted coffee with the dark roasted malts as well, drier finish, a bit more alcohol and spicy whiskey late, with more fudge and chocolate
Mouth is med to fuller bod, rich but not quite full chewy like, fair tingly alcohol, med foamy carb
Overall pretty nice, once I got past that weird protein coagulate on the top, nice barrel notes, nice chocolate and stout characters, a bit of hot alcohol but it is almost 12%

Had on tap at local beverage center - must admit, was quite boozy and tasted mostly rye. I am a fan of rye, so not utterly disappointed; upon being halfway through my 32 oz vessel, am noticing a considerable change in presence of rye - is nicely subdued, blending well to the overall flavour - the smoothness and sure presence of cacao is more apparent - in a word, yum (dare I say, nirvana - RIP Kurt). Being as I got off tap on 3/15 and it being 3/18, could the beer have settled, accounting for straightforward rye in the first half of drinkage, then more subdued in 2nd half? If so, I think inverting beer once or twice may prove to correct this conondrum. This is not the first time I have encountered this situation, alas - my beer heart weeps (any true aficionado has 2 hearts). In parting, we shall persevere through these most troubling of times with our craft beer banner standing tall above all else - #[email protected]% Inbev!!!

2019 vintage. 12oz bottle poured into a tulip. Pours almost black; khaki head that falls leaving nice retention and solid lacing. There's some odd brown spots in the head, almost like it's sediment or something. It's honestly the first time I've ever seen something like this, so it's hard to explain or figure out what it really is. It's not really a big deal, just odd. The aromas have a nice subtle blend of bourbon and chocolate. Some black cherries along with some dark fruits. Malts are there. The flavors follow the nose. More chocolate leading the way along with the bourbon. Nice balance between the two. More dark fruit in the mix. Some rye and black pepper. Subtle spiciness. Malts do their thing. Mild warmth in the finish, but the alcohol is still well hidden. Mouthfeel is full-bodied with moderate to active carbonation. It's sharp, slick, smooth and dangerously drinkable.
This is a nice barrel-aged brew. It might not be flashy, but it's simply well executed. It has everything that you'd look for in the style. Once again, this one is truly dangerously drinkable.

12 oz bottle, 2019 vintage
Snowman chalice
Deep dark brown with slight black hues and a creamy 1/2 finger of head. Recedes to a thin line leaving sparse lacing.
Aroma of milk chocolate, lactose, slight tin, and faint blackberry.
Flavor is of tin, melted chocolate, blackberries, blueberries, cacao nibs, and slight alcoholic oak.
Feel is extremely thin, nearly like a lager, with slight creaminess and a harsh carbonation with a moderate alcohol burn.
Overall it's not something I'd buy again, but it brings a fair amount of chocolate and interesting biting alcohol burn. In fact I'd say those are the two main factors - chocolate and alcohol burn. It lacks depth and body. Not going to be a repeat purchase.

2019 bottle. It pours a medium brown with a foamy tan head that forms quickly, and dissipates, leaving a lovely lacing. The smell is cocoa, coffee, and whisky. The taste is all of that, and some rye spiciness. There's a little oak in there as well, and vanilla. The mouthfeel is surprisingly thin. Overall, a well made barrel aged beer, just what I'd expect from Central Waters.

From the 12oz bottle in a snifter. This fantastic brew pours a
rugged and oily blackish brown with a nice head of off white foam
that settles to a thick ring, thin light dusty layer, and displays some
very nice lacing. Nose of rye whiskey, dark chocolate, dark roast,
vanilla, spicy rye, and subtle oak. Flavors---WOW. Period. Finely
balanced dark chocolate and coffee mingle nicely with rye whiskey
notes of vanilla, spicy rye, and oak amid a layer of roast and faint
char with some subtle notes of dark fruits with warmth.
Very nice mouth feel; full body, smooth, rich, warming, lightly boozy,
medium light verging on light carbonation that is lightly prickly, and
a nice full rich faintly dry finish that is fantastically balanced.
Pert near a Clown Shoes brew but with their own nuances, most
excellent. Worthy of buying some to lay down.
2019 vintage.....awesome!
I have enjoyed their other brews, this one hits the spot!
Cheers!

Near black with brown edges, decent head that fades to nothing, some sediment

Roasted notes that blend into milk chocolate and oak with a subtle vanilla and whiskey finish
Smooth silky mouthfeel
Can't complain about anything in their Brewer's Reserve series!
