Had this at DGs Taphouse Ames, Iowa.

The beer is pitch black with a tan head. It was poured with a centimeter in head without much retention. The nose on the beer has a oak/bourbon hint to it with some hints of roasted/chocolate hints coming through. The beer has a bitterness coming through with the roasted malts, but a huge bourbon/oak flavour that makes the beer taste more like booze. The alcohol is a bit overpowering. The main flavour is definitely the bourbon flavour initially, but when the beer hits room temperature more roasted/chocolate flavours come through. The bitterness lingers; with the strong oak flavour and the bitterness makes the beer a sipper. The mouthfeel is thick as fuuck, exactly what one would expect. It's drinkable, but a bit too much alcohol.

Serving type: on-tap
