The ninth verse in our Twelve Days of Christmas series is inspired by flavors and ingredients found in tiramisu, including ladyfingers, with notes of vanilla, chocolate and coffee. This limited variation was swept of its feet and into bourbon barrels for a year, where it developed an even richer, more chocolaty character, complimented by freshly roasted beans from Ryan Bros. Coffee.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is very coffee forward. Lighter notes of cacao nibs, caramel, toffee and burnt sugar. Even lighter lactose, bourbon and vanilla notes with faint bourbon. Light alcohol spice. Pours brown with a medium large, moderately thick, dark tan head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and fairly long legs. Flavor is very sweet with lots of caramel, toffee and sugar notes. Lighter toasted bread, cacao nibs and lactose. Moderate coffee notes and light vanilla. Moderate bitterness. Light bourbon and medium light alcohol spice with faint oak. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, this is a bit hot and higher abv than I would prefer but is otherwise really tasty.

Bottle. Pours murky chestnut, small beige head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is bourbon, toffee, coffee, vanilla, caramel, a bit of fruitcake. Flavor is pretty sweet, light bitter, coffee, bourbon, vanilla. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Pretty hot.
