Capped 750 from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours coppery brown with a slight light tan head. Aroma of bourbon/whiskey from a foot away. Also treacle and maybe chocolate. Med ++ body. Flavor is bourbon/vanilla forward with some treacle and chocolate. Wood too. Not dry, but not really sweet either. Sort of light raisin kind of sweetness. Rather nicely done.

On tap at the Beer Baron. It pours a deep mahogany color with a khaki head. The aroma has a nice combo of strong whiskey, brown sugar, raisin and plum. The flavor is thick and slick on the palate with a good amount of vanilla and whiskey barrel. Raisin, fig, and plummy dark fruit round out the palate before a sweet finish with more woody barrel. Schubros does these strong barrel aged beers pretty well. Better than most of the big spirit barrel aged beers I’ve had from Lost Abbey recently.

Bottle. Dark mahogany beer with a dark cream head. Caramel/toffee aroma with dark fruit. Toffee and light chocolate flavor with dark fruit. Medium bodied. Toffee and light chocolate lingers with dark fruit and light barrel notes.
