Barrel-aged in Woodford Reserve barrels. Brooklyn Black Ops does not exist. However, if it did exist, it would be a robust stout concocted by the Brooklyn brewing team under cover of secrecy and hidden from everyone else at the brewery. Supposedly, "Black Ops" was aged for four months in bourbon barrels, bottled flat, and re-fermented with Champagne yeast, creating big chocolate and coffee flavors with a rich underpinning of vanilla-like oak notes. They say it’s vanishingly rare. We have no idea what they’re talking about.

Corked Bottle. Black. Malt chocolate, vanilla and bourbon in the aroma. Malty sweet, alcoholic flavor. Chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, caramel. There is some complexity. Flavorful, but Lacks a Velvety mouthfeel.

Pours dark brown with some brownish foam on top. Nose is dry and roasted, light sourness there also. Tastes dry, chocolate roast, super light acidity but overall dry. Very classical take on the style, you can't help but to respect that.

Thanks Gregg for sharing the 2015 bottle! Poured into a taster showing pitch black with no head. The nose shows moderately intense notes of bourbon and smoke. The palate is medium bodied and fully carbonated. Moderately intense bourbon with balanced notes of roasted malt. Slick and oily with smokiness throughout.
