Bottle picked up on the day of release and then traded to me by Rob B., thanks much! Black color not much head in the snifter. Aroma is bourbon over top chocolate, wood and a nice jammy berry note.

Drinking this fresh. Wow... It’s hot. Let me say if you score a bottle of this hold it for a bit!! The bourbon is bold and a tad overwhelming. I love the base porter here, burnt sugar, wood, marshmallow and dark roasted chocolate malt. The raspberry that was used does really come through in a jam aspect toward the back of the sip. The other element in the finish is the intense warming bourbon flavors. I like the jammy raspberry but I barely pick up any type of peanut butter because of the hot bourbon. I drank this whole bottle before and during dinner and it flat out bitch slapped me! I wish I had a second bottle to let mellow in the cellar because I’m sure the flavor would improve with 8-9 months of age, just intensely hot.
