This was an interesting find at a roadside liquor store in Kokomo, Indiana. My first impression was that this is very reminiscent of the Dark Horse stouts- it pours very dark (but not so "molassesy" as Dark Horse stouts) with a large tan to light brown head. Nice complexity in the aroma- licorice, toasty sweet malt, molasses, and bourbon. Bourbon comes up big in the flavor too, with woody, vanilla notes that complement some sweet roast and licorice. Also had a slightly smoky flavor. Very good but needs a bulkier body and a denser palate to reach excellence.
