On draft as part of a flight at Global Brew, Evansville. Typical BC look. Aroma is strong bourbon, coconut, earthy malt. Taste is strong coconut, bourbon, toffee, dark fruit and earthy malt. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste with faint alcohol astringency. Smoother and alcohol better covered than others I’ve had today. Dig it.

16.9 oz. bottle. Pours black, with a big, rocky, brown head. The nose is dark chocolate, surprisingly hot ginger, coconut cream, and butterscotch toffee. Sweet and sugary, with a burnt, sticky bitterness. Heavy body, syrupy and thick. Kinda hot. Aggressive and interesting.

Poured from a 2024 vintage, 500 ml bottle.
Aroma is malt forward with lots of chocolate and roast notes along with some dark caramel, toffee and burnt sugar. Moderate notes of cacao nibs and coconut with hints of ginger. Medium light bourbon and alcohol notes.
Pours jet black with a small, thick, mocha head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers. No lacing and long legs.
Flavor is fairly sweet with lots of chocolate and dark caramel notes along with some lighter roast and toffee. Moderate bitterness and medium alcohol notes. Moderate cacao nib notes with light coconut and faint ginger. Medium light bourbon and light oak notes.
Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a decent barrel aged stout with nice malt notes. The bourbon character is nice. The coconut is a bit oily, but the flavor is nice and not like sun tan lotion. The cacao compliments the malt notes. The ginger is light and well balanced.

Very well balanced coconut, vanilla and oak. Couldn't really find the ginger.
