4.43/5  rDev +6.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

22oz bottle thanks to IntriqKen

Pours a dark black with virtually no head. What bubbles did form are vanilla colored. Only light penetrating is at the edges when held to the light. Looks like black coffee. Wow, incredible aroma. Notes of Granny Smith apples, tobacco, bourbon, and rich leather. All manly smells, all work incredibly well here.

Taste is roasted malt with a touch of bourbon and vanilla. So smooth, so complex. Very creamy mouthfeel. Rich, warming, and delicious. A lil alcohol at the end lets you know that you're probably getting drunk.

Medium-full bodied with light carbonation. Very viscous, as expected. Super creamy. To be honest this is pretty drinkable. You wouldn't think so with all of the strong flavors but i'm glad I have a whole bomber of this to myself.

4.24/5  rDev +1.9%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

Pours deep brown, nearly black with a full tan foam head. Nice clingy lace. So dark light won't shine thru.

Dark coffee, cherry wood, alcohol, ark roasted malt in the nose.

Rich dark malt, with a strong chemical alcohol bite, leading to a long deep bitter finish. Big and boozy, you sense that there are some sweet malty sugars back there somewhere, but they get bullied out of the way by alcohol and hops. Rich and deep, but not alot of layers of flavor. Not a true one trick pony, but essentially charred malt, booze, hops, repeat (after each sip).

Fuller bodied with an alcohol burn and a little carbonated tingle.

Great brew. This beer is what it set out to be. Good serving size too. A bomber would wreck you. I'd like to lay a bottle or two down to see what his is like when it has mellowed a bit.
