Sample during the Hoppin’ On Deck 4 tasting on 06/13/2020. Pitch black pour with a thick foamy tan head that diminishes gradually to a dense film. Patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, vanilla, chocolate and oak. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky vanilla, roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate and earthy hops. The finish is oaky with a lingering bourbon and vanilla aftertaste. Decadent and enjoyable beer all around.
