Pitch black. 1 finger coffee color head. Nose is of very little sweetness and some licorice, mint leaves and dark cocoa bourbon is obviously present as well. Body is heavy but a bit oily. Vanilla and dark chocolate with oatmeal and more licorice. This is such a nice beer but the spiciness is the only turnoff.

Draft at Claybourne on Black Friday.Before the tasting event. Great aromas of chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, light nuts. The flavor is nothing but spectacular. Flavor shows a strong bourbon presence with a mellow burn after the swallow. I swear I get a mild nutty hint, but I kind of a nutjob so.... Just a wonderful fresh BBA stout!
