Can from CBC Liquors, Westford. Opaque, murky, dark brown, tons of light floaties, ring of head, light viscosity, no lacing. Aroma is strong fudge/mocha, nuts. Taste is strong fudge/mocha, background hints of barrel, earthy malt. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Strong fudge/mocha, which is nice, but pretty much to the exclusion of base stout and barrel is incredibly muted. OK.

Pours black with a one finger tan head. The aroma is big on the chocolate along with roast malt and a little bourbon. The flavor is sweet and heavy on the chocolate with roast malt, coffee , and somewhat subdued bourbon. It’s intense and very tasty though I’d have like the bourbon to be a bit stronger.
