- Publication: The Whiskey Wash
- Excerpt: The richness of a stout in theory would lend itself delightfully to a whiskey, but this one fell short for me. It’s a great concept that could use some finessing in execution.

- Publication: Whisky Advocate
- Excerpt: Small barrel-type aromas: sharp, fresh oak and hot grain, but also cocoa hulls and coffee grounds. Tastes youthfully hot, and chocolatey, and sweet, and the oak is raw and forward. More chocolate than stout, I think.

House Review
-
Intro:
This is a craft expression from Chicago Distilling company using a stout mashbill
-
Nose:
Green, caramel, big stout notes. Lactic sour milk, wet carboard, ethanol. Smells hot
-
Taste:
Thin, sweet and very green. This is very young tasting. Prickly ethanol, wet cardboard. Cereal grains. Harsh wood. The stout notes are here but they dont integrate well with the whiskey
-
Finish:
Short, hot and oddly lactic, stout notes are rich here. Not in a great way.
-
Overall:
Funky, hot, young. That's it, let's move on. Get me out of here.
