On tap at Gourmet Haus Staudt. Aroma is a nice blend of chocolate with light roast character. Good vanilla in the back of aroma. As it has warmed the fruit becomes more apparent with some fig and prune. Pours a dark brown to black with dark brown notes on the edges. Head is a light tan color and recedes fairly quickly. Flavor starts out sweet with a lot of vanilla and a touch of oak. Sweet chocolate notes with a bit of dark fruit. As it has warned the alcohol and bourbon character is a bit more noticeable in the finish. A nutty chocolate note in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is super creamy. Moderate low carbonation. No astringency and moderate alcohol heat. A really enjoyable beer, especially as it warns and opens up. The beer definitely opens up and becomes more enjoyable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
