Sample at Jackie O’s as part of Ohio Brew Week. This beer pours a dark brown color with a thin khaki head that recedes quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Somewhat boozy aroma with sweet chocolate and malt notes. Full-bodied and smooth with flavors of milk chocolate, vanilla, bourbon and malt. The finish is sweet and malty with a chocolate aftertaste and light alcohol burn. Good beer overall.

Sample at Jackie O’s as part of Ohio Brew Week. This brew pours a flat dark brown color with a medium thin light tan head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of smoked malt and grain. Rich and smooth body with flavors of mild coffee, oak, smoky malt and chocolate. The finish is subtly smoked with a grain and dark malt aftertaste. Solid beer overall, although I have not had the regular version the barrel aging is really understated in this beer.

Sample at Jackie O’s as part of Ohio Brew Week (plus a growler for home). This beer pours a dark brownish-black color with a medium light beige head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of smoked malt and maple. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt and chocolate. The bacon element is subtle enough that is imbues more of a smoke than a meat character. The finish is smokey with a sweet maple aftertaste. Very good breakfast-type Stout overall.
