Sampled from the tap at Ansari’s. Pours a clear deep copper with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma combines whiskey and sweet grains with a bit of caramel and toffee underlying. Flavor has whiskey throughout with notes of sweet grains, caramel and toffee supporting.

Pours a deep, caramel-brown, almost bordering on black, with mid-sized tan head that dissipates very quickly. Aroma is booze and more booze, some oakiness, some toffee and spice. Flavor largely follows--this is a very sweet, very boozy beer, with the bourbon/booze flavor largely overshadowing everything else. Mouthfeel is smooth, maybe a bit thin? I'd agree that this probably isn't worth the cost, though I'm glad to have found a bottle in the wild...
