Bomber bottle, bought in July, kept in the fridge. Somewhat milder than I might expected from a BBA Stout. Pours a brown-black body under a foamy brown head. Smell has notes of chocolate and alcohol to it. Taste is warming, with more of a sweet stout note, bourbon and then a followup note of chocolate, dried cherry and oak. Not a knockout BBA Stout, but a great sipper and worth enjoying on the last night before we can shout to the White House pestilence: YOU'RE FIRED!
