Deep mocha black with a beige head that did not last long. Great dried prune on the aroma. Great full flavor of mocha, roasted bourbon and raisin. Mouthfeel is full and chewy.

Draft. Blackish beter with a tan head. Chocolate and barrel notes in the aroma. Barrel and chocolate flavor with light roast and toffee. Fuller bodied. Barrel and chocolate lingers with light roast and light vanilla.

Tap, City Beer Store. Pours dark, black with dark brown highlights. The head is mocha-colored and relatively small but sticks around well. The aroma is a big mix of brown sugar, molasses, chocolate, caramel, coffee and bourbon, which is fairly restrained. The flavor is sweet but works quite well. It’s a thick, rich and luxurious beer with a deep well of flavor. It coats the mouth with sweet beer flavors and is quite excellent. One of my favorites from Valley so far.

Tap at the Bistro BA Fest. Pours very dark with a good tan head. Aroma is dark malt, maybe chocolate, slightly oaky. It is indescribable, but wonderful. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is dark cherry-like fruit, burnt malt, chocolate, and enough oak to make me think sour. Very smooth. It is very good.
