Pitch black color. No head. Dark chocolate and nice sweet bourbon nose. Sweet low carbonation bourbon character doesn’t shine as a much. Alcohol relatively well hidden. Warming finish. Nice

Bottle - pours dark brown tan head - nose and taste of coffee, bourbon, dark wheat, cocoa and touch of green pepper - medium body

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours clear opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with amazing retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts the whole glass. Thick soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, espresso, smoke, caramel, brown sugar, nuttiness, spicy rye, and toasted dark/brown bread/crusts; with lighter notes of charcoal, wood, herbal, grass, pepper, and roast/toast/smokey earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/black/rye/bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, espresso, smoke, caramel, brown sugar, nuttiness, spicy rye, and toasted dark/brown bread/crusts; with lighter notes of charcoal, wood, herbal, grass, pepper, and roast/toast/smokey earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/woody hop, roast/char bitterness; and rye spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, espresso, smoke, caramel, brown sugar, nuttiness, spicy rye, toasted dark/brown bread/crusts, charcoal, wood, herbal, grass, pepper, and roast/toast/smokey earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/rye/bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice roast/hop bitter/sweet balance, and zero acrid/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from hop/char bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and fairly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a delicious American stout. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/rye/bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink; despite the increasingly bitter/drying finish. Over carbonated, but it was not an issue for drinkability at all. Really rich for the ABV, with well balanced dark/black/rye/bready malt complexity, and nice earthy hop presence. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

12 ounce can from Woodman’s Oak Creek. Very pale yellow, thin fizzy white head fades instantly. Aroma of grass, lemon, pale malt. The taste is bready malt, citrus, a bit of a Noble and grassy finish. Thin, crisp. Solid.

Bottle: Hazy/cloudy amber with a large, craggy, off-white head. Orange, caramel, pine aroma. Taste is sweet.....tangerine malt, caramel malt....an almost candied feel to it. Bittering is a mix of leaves, peel and pine. Tasty......and nearly sticky.

Bottle. Sour milk, caramel malt, yeast, and hay aroma. Hazy amber with large light tan head. Moderately sweet apple, caramel malt, yeast, and lightly bitter hay flavor. Good body. Straight forward - a bit heavy.

Bottle. Pine, grapefruit peel, tangerine, and biscuit malt aroma. Hazy amber with nice white head. Moderately sweet tangerine, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter pine/grapefruit peel flavor. Body a bit heavy.
