Special processes and special ingredients used: Boiled for 3 hours to increase gravity as well as caramelize sugars. Molasses and dry malt extract are added to the boil to increase gravity as well. Aged on Cholaca, a liquefied cacao nib product. After aging 4 weeks we transfer the beer into Willett bourbon barrels and age for 7 months and recirculated with hazelnut extract.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown with a full two fingers of tan head that lingers. Cacao nib, baker's chocolate bourbon and hazelnut aromas. Hazelnut on the palate stands out with oak and chocolate. Finishes smooth with muted bourbon and lingering chocolate and hazelnut.

Black pour with a one finger dark tan head. The aroma is of bourbon, roast malt, and chocolate. Flavor is bourbon, dark roast malt, chocolate, and coffee. It’s fairly sweet but not overly so. Full bodied. Hazelnut? Maybe. It’s a little hard to pick out. I might have missed it if I didn’t know it was there. This is an excellent beer though.
