Roast and some cinnamon. Bourbon, chocolate and caramel. Some nutmeg, Turmeric sense. Black oily pour without much head. Bitter boozy finish with some sweetness. Not a whole lot of balance the way I taste this. Tap at Belmont Station.

Big thanks to Daawi for bringing this bomb. I’ve been wanting to try this! Everything about this beer is awesome. Awesome bottle, label, wax. I mean look at that (meaning you’d have to have the beer in front of you to do what). Anyways; This beer pours pitch black with a medium mocha head. The aroma; oh well, the aroma of this is straight up AWESOME. Dark chocolate, sweet fruit, bourbon, fudge, caramel, vanilla, light burned wood, savory notes, lots of cinnamon, clove, malt. God damn this smells good! Went on smelling this umpteen times before tasting it. The taste is bourbon forward, vanilla, fudge, cinnamon, dark chocolate, sweet fruits, malt, clove. Not AS good as the aroma but still veryyy good. Damn, I need to taste this again. The only downside if this beer is that it’s slightly thin. Well, it could be thicker and thicker is mostly better to me. Oh well - very good beer.

I died and woke up with people torturing me by throwing down gingerbread, oak and bourbon in my nose. But I love the torture. Tons of clove cinnamon, oak, vanilla chocolate clove and allspice. Wow. The spice rack into my mouth. Love it.
