Tap at Ale Arsenal. Pours black with light brown head. Complex of aroma of leather, cocoa, whiskey barrel. Beautiful aroma. complex flavor of rich malt, leather, tar. Viscous and syrupy. Wonderful beer.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is malt forward with lots of chocolate notes. Some notes of burnt sugar, dark caramel and toffee. Lighter roast notes. A bit of molasses and hints of a tobacco and ash. Medium light bourbon and alcohol notes with light oak notes. Pours jet black with a small, dark, mocha head that recedes steadily to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet and a bit sticky with lots of chocolate, dark caramel and toffee. Lighter roast notes, some molasses and hints of burnt sugar. Hints of leather, ash and dried fruit. Medium bitterness and medium alcohol warmth. Moderate barrel notes with nice bourbon character and hints of oak. Mouthfeel is full bodied and a bit silky with some stickiness in the finish and medium low carbonation. Low astringency and medium alcohol warmth. Overall, a really solid BA stout. Great malt character with lots of chocolate and dark sugary notes. Great barrel character.
