look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

A: Near-black body with golden, dark-tan head, with not much lacing.

S: Almost like opening a bottle of port. Really candy-store sweet up front, overwhelms everything else.

T: The bourbon sweetness dominates the flavor. Turns into rich caramel and chocolate, with a slightly smoky, bittersweet chocolate finish.

M: Heavy and syrupy.

D: Couldn't have more than a couple of these, but they're delicious.

Serving type: on-tap

Served from bottle into Teku glass.

A - very dark, with a small amount of tan head that lingers arouns the glass

S - Mostly bourbon in the nose with a little bit of dark roasted malts and a little sweetness as well.

T - Lots of bourbon up front backed by good roasty flavors, coffee, chocolatte etc. Decent amount of alcohol burn, but with all the bourbon flavor this doesn't really seem like a bad thing.

M - thick and smooth mouthfeel, with a good amount of carbonation

O - Fantastic beer, really enjoyed this one, and at 15% enjoyed it slowly.

What's that thing called? Cloud 9? Well this bad boi just put Raul on cloud 11. I mean, Raul is feeling this thing like the "massage" that he just got down at the local parlor. Blacker than sin and as dangerous as a 2x4 with a nail in it, Raul was more into this thang than that one time your mama got bubble gum stick in her hair.

Sleek, sexy, and luxurious. This lil sucker is nothing but luxurious.
