Enjoyed on tap at Half Acre Taproom in Chicago, IL prior to game 1 of the World Series. Appearance is cola brown with a moderate off white head that nicely laces to the glass. Aroma is fantastic, rich in bourbon, chocolate, caramel, coffee, molasses, a lot going on. Taste is spectacular, decadent but drinkable, it makes me feel happy and warm and less nervous about watching this game. One of the better ones I’ve had in a while.
