On tap at El Segundo, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out intense bourbon barrels upfront, followed by roast and a touch of vanilla. Flavour is rich, with lots of bourbon, syrupy notes, molasses, and roast. Very thick, syrupy palate, with lots of molasses. A bit too sticky and syrupy for me, but it's well-made.

2018 bottle. Pours black, with a small, brown head. The nose is chicory, cocoa nibs, currant, leather, and almond. Not too sweet, with a bit of boozy barrel notes. Heavy body, with a grainy, chalky palate. This is a mellow, complex, and nicely balanced stout.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours dark brn/blk with a dark tan head. Aroma of bourbon and chocolate. Med + body. Flavor is bourbon, dark treacly malt, chocolate. There’s a lurking tangy tartness - maybe it’s from the wood. Not dry; not hoppy; whiskey cuts the sugar down appropriately. I have had better BA IS ales. Not many tho. This is definitely something to get every time it’s available.

Draft - Lots of bourbon, raisin and molasses. Jet black with a decent brown head. Sweet bourbon, lots of wood, raisin and a bit of heat on the throat. Lots of bourbon, but nice.
