Black with brown edges. Small tan head. Molasses, burnt brown sugar, chocolate. Lots of rich roasted malt flavor. Sweet with some nice booze kick. Some vanilla and coffee. Sherry, bourbon barrel sweetness. It’s a bit muddled but there’s a lot of nice stuff going on. Mild oak. Long roasty, sweet finish. Low-ish carbonation. The alcohol heat is warm and nice. Very good imperial stout.

Bottle. Aroma is roasty malts with hints of chocolate, fruit and yeast. Appearance is very dark brown--virtually opaque with dark amber at edges of the glass. Nice, fluffy finger-width beige head with good retention and nice lacing. Taste is mainly mild sweet with yeast qualities and roastiness with pleasant mild bitter finish. Palate is light bodied with creamy smooth texture, minimal carbonation. Overall, a rich beer without feeling too thick or filling.

Bottle. Bourbon, sherry, raisin, chocolate malt, and hay aroma. Dark brown with minimal head. Sweet alcohol (bourbon and brandy dominate), wood, light chocolate malt, and moderately bitter herbal alcohol flavor. Sharp acidic rum finish. The liquors blend well but then overwhelm the base beer. Interesting but too much.

Bottle from Bigtreebrewing. Hazy deep golden color with a smallish bone white head. Toffee, earthy , mineral and a hint metallic on the nose. Bitter butterscotch and earthy hop flavor. Medium body moderate to high carbonation. Decent enough IPA but not horribly exciting.

Pour is a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is plenty hoppy. Flavor is a dank hoppy some chewy malts to round things out. Leaves a pleasant hop on the tongue. This is a worthy effort.
