Deep dark brown coloured body with a deep opaque black, oily glow, all with a very thin off-white head that tops the beer. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, earth and a good deal of lactose - but nothing horribly strong. Medium-bodied; Super robust bourbon and whiskey flavours dominate at first with a big alcohol burn, despite not too high of an alcohol presence, a dry cedar-like flavour along with some oak, light licorice and anise flavours and a touch of toffee and caramelised sugars towards the end. Aftertaste shows the roasted malts, light Pacific NorthWest hops that show a very citrusey and piney characteristic, but the bourbon and whiskey notes are by far the strongest, leaving a dry, slow alcohol burn on the palate. Overall, an interesting and strong-flavoured beer that really shows off the bourbon, alcohol, caramelised sugar and roasted malt notes, but the complexity and robust chararacteristics just aren't there, along with the structure and balance of this - there aren't any hops nor sugars to balance out the warm alcohol or roasted malts. Good to sample, but I'd pass on this again, and I'm happy I didn't fly back home with this one! I sampled this 65 cL (gold and black) wax sealed bottle, purchased from Smith's Liqour Gallery in Rapid City, South Dakota on 25-June-2020 for US$18,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Hot Springs, South Dakota on 28-June-2020.
