Brewed in honor of the 1000th batch at our original Clybourn brewpub. A liquid as dark and dense as a black hole with thick foam the color of a bourbon barrel. The nose is an intense mix of charred oak, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and smoke. One sip has more flavor than your average case of beer.

Brown-black pour with a thin khaki head that dissipates quickly to a film. Sparse small patches of lacing on the glass. Bourbon, oak, malt and chocolate in the nose. Full-bodied with an oaky bourbon character and notes of chocolate fudge, anise and charred malt. The finish is oaky with a bourbon and malt aftertaste. Holding up well, still a good beer.

On tap at 4th Avenue Pub. Hmm black, beige head. Chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, smooth, just a bit low on body compared to 2016.

Vertical 2011 to 2015 thanks Brian. Taste is still good but it has a slight bite and more licorice flavor than the 11.
