Waxed bomber from Bobby's Liquor in Santa Clara, CA. Pours dark brn/blk with a creamy tan head. Nice aroma of dark malt with rye whiskey. Full bodied. Lots of smooth/slick dark malt (It's Imperial Oatmeal). Flavor is smooth, burnt malt with a lot of whiskey and a good amount of rye spice. Chocolate too. Made think of the old Jello pudding for a moment. Silly, cause that didn't have rye! It's not really complex, but the flavor combo is quite tasty. Bottled 12/07/2016. But it was stored on a dark shelf in Santa Clara, and seems quite well preserved. :)

Wow very interesting beer. It first I was amazed and super impressed and then I wasn't quite sure how to take it and then again I loved it. It's very complex with characteristics of the Rye whiskey barrel and also silky smooth from the oats, thick and Rich from the chocolate malt. What a velvet hammer.
