Bottle (3/23/18) from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. Opaque dark brown, ring of head, light viscosity, trace lacing. Aroma is bourbon, oak, light cherry, mild caramel. Taste is strong malt-somewhat earthy/peaty--oak, caramel, light cherry. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Getting a lot of stuff, with good balance, here but lactose isn't really one of the things. Also, no alcohol. Held up quite well and am psyched to be able to try the brewery!

22 oz bottle shared by tfontana. Thank you! Date : Mar-23- 2018. Aroma is soft roast, mild bourbon soft chocolate. Flavor follows with a medium body maybe a tad thin. I don’t know what it was like fresh, but it certainly has held up.

Draft at the source. When I was in kindergarten my parents made me wear Buster Brown shoes and the other kids made fun of me. This beer is much better than that experience. Clear amber color. Cocoa aroma. Taste is medium roast coffee and milk chocolate.
