2016 bottle shared at Andrew's B-day bash. Thanks Zack! Pours a pitch black with a small brown head that dissipates. Chocolate milk forward nose with oak, marshmallow notes and light bourbon aromas. Smooth and balanced on the palate. Some roasted malt and sweet chocolate, vanilla and oaky bourbon to offset the bitterness in the base. Smooth and rich, a great dessert beer. Big improvement over the base and doesn't feel boozy at all.
