Holy shit—this beer comes with a brochure. Tasty, although I’m not parsing through the included literature to get the complete story. As it is, I get elements of a stout, barleywine, and brown ale, with some lovely bourbon playing off the cocoa, brandied fruit, and roasted notes. A little agave flits in the periphery, as does an understated vinous streak laced with port and tobacco. Hell, I’m actually enjoying this pint enough to read the insert. Absolutely delicious.

ark brown color. Light brown color. Slightly Smokey character, bourbon, oak, brownies and caramel, raisins, brown sugar in the nose with just a touch of tequila. Super smooth palate, chocolate, brownies caramel, oak, bourbon slightly sour palate. Very low carbonation. Very rounded. Alcohol very hidden. Full bodied. Lingering rich finish. Nothing short of fucking amazing. Just amazing.
