On tap at the brewpub. Pours up hazy mahogany with tan head and spotty lacing. The aroma is musty malts, figs, some chocolate, earthiness and a sense of bourbon. The taste begins sweet with some crystal malts moving into some caramel, black licorice, some black strap molasses, persistent vanilla oakiness bourboniness. As the finish approaches and we head off into the after taste thin layers of chocolate and fig like earthiness bubble up amid the barrel notes.
