Capped 500 from Bine & Vine. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight dark tan head. Aroma of bourbon with coconut notes. Full bodied, but not so much as is possible. Flavor is bourbon, oak from barrels that aren't musty, chocolate, fairly strong coffee, coconut flavor goes in and out - mostly in. Burnt malt. Not dry, but far from sweet. Heat seems present, and the ale is bitter - which might be heat and/or toasted malt. Goes dark earthy chocolate in the finish - with Mounds bar aspects. Great flavor/great ale.
