Half pour draught, as pictured, at the brewery 11/8/25.
Roast is fairly evident though not overdone/overpowering. Bourbon comes quickly to the rescue, followed by some dark fruit and milk chocolate notes. No alcohol. Lots of fresh yeast, mild oak and lingering, but mild bourbon.
Soft, malty, highly attenuated, with more of an older school RIS feel to it, though it isn't over-roasted and it's not full of PNW hops. Just doesn't have the chewy fudge of the contemporary style, which is fine, of course. Bourbon is present but doesn't really shine. Kind of have to strain to enjoy the bourbon aspect. But a well-made offering, for sure.

8 ounce draft. Aroma is moderate Blantons bourbon with a hint of chocolate so you know. Blanton’s dominates the flavor with notes of roasted malt and soft chocolate nuances. Body is medium plus. Alcohol is here but not overpowering.
