12oz, Nov. 2012
Hunahpu's snifter

A: Pours a really deep dark brown. I do get some light through edges. Reddish hues. Initially a pretty good head for a big stout, half finger light tan head. Faded quick to a ring of tan and thin layer in top. Getting some alcohol legs.

S: Getting that bourbon fresh in the nose. Nice rich vanilla. Underneath, some light hints of dark chocolate. Not getting coffee or dark fruits, but a little cold.

T: On the sip, first thing I notice: thinner than I would like. Wish there was more body. Up front, you get some dark chocolate bitterness. Some vanilla. Some caramel and light toffee. Finish has some tannic dryness. Lingering wood flavor.

M: It's a big medium. Wish it was a little thicker and fuller. Mildly over carbed. Prickly.

12 oz. bottle poured into a snifter.

Appearance - Not quite black. No real head. Pretty transparent. Wispy surface but not much else.

Smell - Nutty and lots of caramel. Some roast. Some bourbon. Molasses.

Taste - Just a bit of sweetness up front. Nutty caramel. Light chocolate. Some bourbon. Not much barrel character. Odd nutty caramel flavor.

Mouthfeel - Dry and medium body. Not too sweet.

Overall - Poor beer came after Grey Monday. Never gonna live up. This has a weird nutty flavor. Maybe I'd like it better in the early evening.
