4.75/5 rDev +4.9%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4 | overall: 5

pours a pitch black with little head. there is carbonation, the beer is just so thick it has trouble escaping. the head is deep dark brown and disappears quickly and runs off the side of the glass leaving no lacing.

smell is mega alcohol of the bourbon variety. mixed in with a background of smooth caramel and cream.

taste has so many amazing flavors mixing perfectly. dark toffee, mellow caramel, vanilla and bourbon. a hint of the roasted malts can even be noticed.

mouthfeel: although the beer looks like oil, and
feels like oil in the beginning, it somehow leaves behind a smooth film that is pleasant during the entire session.

drinkability: god damn hail satan drink one for baby jesus

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5

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.
