Review #475

Pitch black with a creamy, frothed saddle brown head. Spotty lacing and a wispy film on the liquid.

Strong bourbon notes in the nose with toasted oak, vanilla, tobacco and chocolate. Sweet and boozy. Roasted dark malts, smoke and a boatload of barrel.

A heavy-handed helping of bourbon came through up front with sweet barrel character and oaky tannins. Chocolate, molasses and vanilla lead into the robust back bone. Lots of roasted dark malts. Boozy chocolate cake, brownies, tobacco and a dash of smoke. Finished boozy and warm with lingering vanilla.

Full bodied, milder carbonation. Creamy, sticky and smooth on the tongue.

Overall, an excellent beer even though this probably was not worth the $30 price tag.
