Mooch tasting at Matt's
Black color with brown head. Nice aroma of roasted malt and dark bread. The body is top thin, the sweetness too low, it has some simple dark malt and chocolate flavor. No clear evidence of bourbon barrel.
Simple.

Dark brown color. Earthy caramel and chocolate aroma. Good body, but the flavor is just based on caramel, with too strong earthy tones, moderately sweet, green pepper, vegetables.
Very messy.

Dark brown. On the palate, there’s some fudgey chocolate and a bourbon note...but I’m not super excited with it. Pretty boozy, with a fudgey note, the bourbon lending a lot of sweetness, but it’s messy, doesn’t come together.

375mL bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out low quality bourbon barrels, some chalk, and earth. Flavour is more complex, with cocoa, light roast and a touch of bourbon. Earthy palate, with a nice cocoa finish. Not overly complex, but solid stuff.

Bottle - Cocoa and some toasted malts. Deep brown with a small light brown head. Sweet malts, cherry and woody notes and bitterness. Dry bitterness is a bit overwhelming.

375mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany / near-black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dark cherries, a touch of coffee and booze. Flavour is along the same lines, with light coffee, dried cherries, and liqueur. Quite boozy, with a sweet, dark fruity finish. Nice stuff.

Dark brown. Not much head. Cocoa, with a light fruity note. This is quite bitter, with a cocoa note, just a touch of fruit, and some sweeter, sort of figgy malts. Not bad, but a little bit unbalanced. The alcoholic strength is evident, but doesn’t add to the beer.
