Enjoyed at the 3rd annual Black & Blue. Thanks brawleys!
A - black, thick with huge cinnamon head that left crazy, caked lacing while retaining a good, solid cap
S - ton of vanilla, toffee, brown sugar, graham crackers
T - flavors much like nose with some roasted malts and a bit dark fruit; the finish consists of sweet toffee and warming alcohol; fairly heavy on the Wells barrel
M - thick and chewy body; almost fluffy carbonation but not distracting; mild, sweet bourbon aftertaste
O - i had big expectations as this is one of my favorite beers, local or not. i was not disappointed. the barrel is very strong but the baltic porter base is pretty robust and has enough bones to support it. the Wells barrel is tasty and that helps.
DRB - please bottle some of this!(in 12oz bottles like Rabid Duck)
* I still feel like a noob, but I have learned a lot over the last one and half years and it has been a blast. Big thanks to my BA friends for mentoring me and sharing not only their knowledge, but their beer with me. It is all very much appreciated!

Appearance: Arrives with the liquid colored a pretty dark brown with ruby highlights; the head was not overly large but it did leave the occasional strand behind
Smell: Dark fruit (prune, primarily) and Bourbon, with some chocolate underneath
Taste: The dark fruit flavors (prune and date) appear first, followed by the Bourbon barrel and chocolate flavors; after the swallow, the Bourbon lingers in the aftertaste, bringing with it some vanilla elements
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with low carbonation
Overall: Duck-Rabbit has a way with its limited edition beers and this one is no exception

On tap at ACBF 6/1/2013 Solid black color. Aroma of chocolate covered cherries with a hint of coconut. Outstanding chocolate fruity flavor with hints of vanilla and sweet smooth bourbon. Thick body with a creamy silky mouthfeel. Incredible beer. Smooth complex and tasty.
