Pours an oil slick black body beneath the dense mocha colored head that slowly dissolves to leave a thin, yet sticky lacing behind.
Boozy aromas of chocolate, bourbon, and vanilla woodnotes leap from the glass.
The flavor is rich in dark chocolate, woody bourbon, with hints of roasted character and a touch of dark or sweet fruit, which I would guess comes from the champagne yeast as it warms. As the beer warms the dark fruit, bordering on sour, is a unique and delicious combination with the bourbon and woodnotes, leaving the hints of roasted malt behind and is unlike anything I have had previously.
The body is on the fuller side of medium with generous carbonation for the style and a rich flavorful finish, dense with character.
This beer is quite complex and needs to be appreciated over a couple of hours to enjoy the various nuances of the flavor and aroma. I am blown away as it is never too woody, nor does it let any one particular trait dominate the beer. Fantastic.
