This secret beer got no love at Craft Beer Holiday while everyone chased their blue garbage beer cocktail, though when I mentioned it had been quietly tapped to staff elsewhere they went running to get some. A rich sweet malty whiskey aroma. Medium to full bodied on an inky black pour. The aroma was oaky whiskey, the beer was super smooth lots of soy and whiskey big dark beer flavors. Later on, I found it to be full of treacle, whiskey and oak. Brian would have loved this. A big bold BA beer that blew me away and had me wondering why they don't do better more often? I guess crappy beer cocktails pay the bills...
