On tap at the Beer Baron. It pours a dark brown/black color with a thick, creamy light brown head. The aroma is awesome with rich dark chocolate, fudge, some wood and light notes of vanilla. Big mocha coffee as well. The flavor has more coffee, dark cocoa, vanilla, bourbon and light tartness on the palate. Big roasted finish with some tobacco ash, mild tartness, and spicy oak. Altamont cranked up the bourbon influence on this one, but the beer is chewy enough to take it on. A decadent treat.
