Taster showing dark brown with sparse tanned foam. The nose shows pronounced notes of sweet licorice, molasses, and strong bourbon. The palate is moderately carbonated and medium bodied with a sticky mouthfeel. Mildly sweet with moderately intense notes of balanced bourbon, caramel, figs, and dark dried fruit.
Bottle shared at DACBE New Year's share. Thanks Adam! Pours a deep brown to black with a small bit of beige head that dissipates. Big plum, raisin and bourbon aromas right off the bat. As it warms more caramel, toffee, molasses and chocolate comes out. The bourbon is there as well with an oak vanilla note as it warms. Super complex and each sip almost seems different. Smooth bourbon, toffee and light smoked chocolate mid-palate. Finishes slightly warming with more bourbon, oak, toasted vanilla and toffee flavors. Fantastic.
Bottle at RateBeer Best. Pours black with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong wood, bourbon, vanilla, roast. Medium body, wood, caramel, spice, lots of heat from the bourbon, very nice.
