Bottle 859 of 2500. Thanks Adam! Aroma is rich and moderately chocolate forward with some light roast notes. Medium light bourbon and light oak. Hints of ash and moderate leather with some medium light notes of dark fruit. Pours black with a thick, light mocha head with decent retention as it recedes to a thin film that lingers in the center of the glass. Light lacing and moderate legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with some moderate roast notes as well as moderate dark fruit. Some light ash notes and medium light chocolate. Moderate bitterness with a vinous finish. Light bourbon and faint oak. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Medium low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer and the aroma is pretty nice. The flavor is weird though. Its very sweet with a lot of vinous, fruity character in the finish with a lingering astringency.
