Pours an inky black, no light, nice dark brown head, dissipates in similar Bourbon County fashion, which is quickly. Leaves a brown frothy ring. Aroma kicks in with bourbon, chocolate, sweet cherries, vanilla, oak and toffee. Taste is sweet, but not cloying, sweet cherries, hint of rye, bourbon, chocolate. Full bodied, thick and chewy, mild carbonation.

The cherries really give the BCBS a lot of balance and making it super drinkable, with out much noticeable alcohol at all.

Bottled 11/12/12. Thanks jbck109!

A: Pours a thick black color with very low carbonation. A thin dark brown film briefly expressed itself after the pour but disappeared into nothingness rather quickly.
S: Smells strongly of whiskey mixed with rich back cherry juice. Sweet and potent smelling with warming booze, chocolate, and spicy barrel coming through.
T: Follows the nose with strong and potent flavors. Starts off boozy and full of rye whiskey and spicy rye barrel, then huge juicy notes of dark cherry juice take over. The finish is full of chocolate and rye, and the aftertaste has cherry skins, slight vanilla, slight caramel and oak.
M: Thick full body and mouthfeel, low velvet carbonation, drinks extremely smooth.
O: Smooth, rich and very well balanced. Probably my favorite next to Rare. Extremely smooth and rich with some of the best use of cherry I've tasted in a beer. Thanks again Jay!
