Black pour. Thin foam around the rim. Rich flavor of dark chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, and coffee. Bourbon on the palate.

Cocoa, coffee, charred oak, bourbon aroma. Viscous black pour, headless. Bourbon, chocolate syrup. Oak finish. Full body, easy carbonation, very warm. This is a punch in the face. No detectable hazelnut flavor or aroma, but that is likely due to the bourbon. It's not overly boozy but even a little bourbon seems to have masked the delicate flavor of hazelnuts. It's a shame because I really hazelnuts, especially in coffee. Good beer though.
