Aged through four seasons and from a blend of the top Bourbons around, this Ten Fidy has morphed into a monster of cranked up flavor. Espresso, burnt sugar, rich chocolate, caramel notes are now driving alongside the vanilla, oak, bourbon from the barrel and been smoothed out during maturation. Even at 12.9% (75 IBUs) it is cool and drinkable, letting each sip add more and more complexity.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Fresh 2017 vintage. Pours a pitch black with a small bit of brown head that dissipates quickly. Big chocolate nose, oak and booze. Boozy on the palate, milk chocolate. Clean and crisp. Lots of dark malt, cacao and roasted espresso notes. Roasted cacao nib comes though as it warms, but the booziness always seems to linger.
