Can. Pours black with a creamy medium brown head that lasts a while and laces well. Aroma is roasty, molasses, cocoa, hints of ashtray, roots. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter. Medium plus body. A solid straight imply, but it really does not hint at the riches that await post bourbon barrel...

Can. Almost black with a small tan head. Somewhat vague aroma of mocha, fudge, licorice. Thinnish for 8%, but yes, pretty smooth texture with soft carbonation. Roasted malt and (I'd guess) barley, licorice, slightly astringent coffee. Sweet then fairly bitter at the end. No depth and too sweet, but it's pleasant enough.

Tap at Kamikaze. Black, shiny, with lace. Woody nose, chocolate, light coffee, roasted malts. Sofy and a bit roasty, light berries, light vanilla, creamy. Good stuff but not as wowing as the BA editions.

2017 vintage. Deep inky black with a rusty tan head that is longer lasting than the Foothills. Oaky tannic treacle aroma, full bodied and lush mouthfeel. The taste is oaky marshmallow and rich chocolate. Great stuff. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
