Quaffed (THIS WAS NEVER ON DRAFT) at CCB BA Big Sound release party. Big thanks to Justin for opening his bottle. It pours murky dark brown β amber with copper edges and lasting tan head. The aroma is bourbon β whiskey notes and some heat to go along with modest sweet maltiness. The taste is sweet malty and chewy with a brief pulse malt roastiness before layers and layers of bourbony booze barrel notes well up to the surface. To midway and toward the finish I get thin mesas of chocolate, some dark roasted coffee and mildly drying roasted malts and booze.
