Served in a snifter at the Clybourn brewpub.

I winked a little when I ordered this... It pours a very deep black-brown topped by a half-finger of glowing light tan foam. The nose comprises cocoa, light mild coffee, toffee, toasted malts, and light tobacco leaf. The taste brings in more of the same, along with some walnuts and oak, and with the toasted malts coming through as smokier now. The body is a hefty medium, with a very light moderate carbonation and a slightly chewy feel. Overall, a damn fine imperial brown, one that I hope to see on-tap more often 'round here.

Brown rust color.

Khaki head; almost no lace.

Toffee, caramel & slight grapefruit on the nose.

Thick, viscous mouthfeel.

Strong bananas up front; light caramel & pickle juice on the finish.

Bold & flavorful, but the finish is brutal. A near-miss.

Really tasty bourbon forward brown. The base beer is a vehicle for the bourbon with enough sweetness to smooth it out and a nice toffee finish. If you're a fan of bourbon notes and flavors, the beer pretty much takes a backseat to the bourbons. Very well made.
