Tap at Ale Arsenal. This is ridiculously good and complex. Luscious mouthfeel - velvet. Huge chocolate, toffee, bourbon aroma. Candied chocolate flavor.
So much Oreo flavor, solid marshmallow additive too, with just the right amount of nuttiness as well. Ugh pastry done right by ol reliable prairie again. Nice barrel notes too!

Nope, this isn’t the way. So friggin’ sweet, mixing notes of anise and soy sauce with Oreos and dark chocolate and fudge, with a barely-there carbonation allowing all the sugar to sit listlessly on the palate. Too much, man. Too much.
From backlog. (As 2022 vintage) Bottle, from Joe’s Liquor, Memphis. Black with little head. Roasted malts, Dark Chocolate, coconut, Cookie, almonds, barrel, whiskey, bourbon, sweetness.

Bourbon, dark chocolate and roast. Light almond and very light marshmallow thankfully. Black pour with decent head. Quite sweet with some booze. Black oily pour with decent head. Tap at Cottage Hill Package.

2023 release on tap at Tip Tap Room, 4/1/23. Dark burgundy. No head. Fudgey, maybe some raisin and pastry with vanilla and even a touch of mousiness. Very light on the bourbon, though it is apparent. Soft, malty, cookies, fudge, heavy cacao. Sweet, though and I wish there was more barrel or more attenuation. Adjuncts aren't too obnoxious but it's overall too sweet. Fudgey marshmallow lingering is disingenuous.

Tavour: black with beige head. Aroma is marshmelon, chocolate, milky, nuts, nut of coco. Taste is super sweet, nutry, loads of marshmallow, tons of booze. Too much.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a pitch black with a half finger of brown head that dissipates. Lots of bourbon and oak in the nose marshmallow cream and toasted almonds. Well-rounded mouthfeel with a silky soft touch. More of the same on the palate with a rocky road ice cream note. Smooth finish with warming bourbon, oak and marshmallow.

On tap at Prairie OKC, pours jet black with almost no head. Nose is very chocolatey, with tons of dark chocolate cookies, plenty of marzipan, bourbon, and a hint of coconut. Flavour is extremely rich, with intense bourbon barrels, marzipan galore, and dark chocolate cookies. Finishes hot, marzipany, and a bit jagged. The alcohol strength is very apparent and so is the marzipan. It still works (!), but the booze and marzipan is a bit too unrefined. Good stuff overall.
