The beer pours pitch black with a medium foamy beige head that diminishes slowly. Sticky patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of bourbon, coffee and chocolate. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, dark chocolate and charred malt. The finish is moderately boozy with a mocha aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Sample from cask at the 10th annual Barley’s Mini Real Ale Fest on 05/04/13: Opaque brownish-black pour with a thin tan head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of coffee, malt and subtle oak. Full-bodied with a somewhat boozy character and flavors of black coffee, roast malt and mild hops. The finish is moderately bitter with a coffee aftertaste. Good beer all around.
