Bottle. A- Light, roasty, cocoa. A- Black color, dark liquid, light brown head. T- Slightly bitter, roasty, mild char, cocoa. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- This was pretty muted on the nose and the palate was pretty basic too. Just not quite the rich profile I wanted. Needed more barrel influence for sure.

Tasty giant porter, not particularly complex but tasty nonetheless. Bourbon barrel's the central component; lots of booze in the profile, oaky and semisweet, with subtle chocolate and dark fruit notes accented by licorice, caramel, and a nice dose of roast (enough to qualify this porter for stouthood). Never gets as deep as you want--the bourbon really does take over as the pint warms--and the coffee's a nonfactor, but the texture's not overly syrupy and the liquor burn is toned down to a subtle warmth. Lovely chocolate-caramel nose, pretty dark black pour with a clingy brown head and modest lacing. Not bad.

Refrigerated 2015 brown bomber poured into a snifter. Black with medium/small light brown head. Aroma is bourbon, thick body, medium carbonation, and pretty good lacing. Taste is roasted malt, nice bourbon, and some coffee.
