Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a deep dark body that supports a thin dark tan head. The aroma comes across as largely bourbon booze backed up by chocolate and dark roasted malts, a bit of vanilla and a woody note. The taste delivers pleasing rich chocolate notes nuanced by dark roasted malts to burnt malts and smooth soft sweet bourbon. Behind those notes are sweet vanilla and an oaky woodiness. Pretty solid.

Tap. Pours opaque black, small creamy tan head, great lacing. Aroma is bourbon, cocoa, hints of anise, vanilla. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter, fairly strong barrel presence, but in the end well integrated. Full body, a bit of heat. Pretty nice effort.
