12 oz bottle. Pours black with a thin brown head. Strong, chewy bourbon cocoa aroma, coffee, cream, sweet molasses. Flavor has sharp bourbon alcohol, syrupy molasses, cocoa, raisin, and soy, but still with the creamy roast. Strong and tasty.

Like an aging band with a new banger record, Bell's nailed this delicious beer. Everything is top-notch, but the aroma is the real standout here, dense and rich with layers and layers of cocoa, coffee, roast, prune, raisin, soy, bourbon, oak, and alcohol. The flavor is nearly as impressive, with tobacco joining the fray. Rich and heavy body, well-carbonated despite the significant barrel time. This drinks like no expense or care was spared, and is a beautiful throwback to the headiest days of craft beer.
