Bottle shared by Matt. I admit I was not expecting much, but this surprised. Pours opaque black, small brown head, some lacing. Aroma is bourbon and rich chocolate, vanilla and roasted malts. Flavor is fully sweet, light plus bitter, heavy chocolate, vanilla, bourbon. Full body, creamy, somewhat hot, but not out of character for a 16% beer. A nice desert sipper and a great way to "cleanse" the palate on what was otherwise a night of sours.
