Draft at Alter. Deep brown color, flight highlights from carbonation, and a thin ring of foam. Barrel-aged smell of vanilla, notes of toffee and Nutella. Nice warm Bourbon taste up front. Hazelnut again as described, and of course the toffee I found on the nose. Very comforting to sit with after a long day of monocular election judging. Oak and vanilla in the background, as well as a bit of cured tobacco leaf. Very sticky remnants on the lips.
