$7.99 single from the Brew Shop in Arlington. Short pour into a pint glass at home. Matte black pour with a medium-thin cocoa head. Sweet & astringent coffee nose, faint smoke with a sharp bourbon underbelly. Dense coffee & dark cocoa upfront, bittersweet chocolate cookie with a toasty marshmallow middle, middle to end is all warm to hot bourbon flavor. Dry & itchy malt on the tail. Lux mouthfeel, low carb, boozy. Good but not great. Too straight forward & hot.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown head that lingers. Deep coffee and espresso aromas on the nose with dark chocolate and milk chocolate mixed. A touch of treacle underneath. Oak, vanilla, bourbon, coffee and dark chocolate on the palate. Drying finish with coffee, peppery rye-like notes alongside warming bourbon, vanilla and oak. So good. One of those rare cases where each year the beer gets better seemingly.
