Sample at GABF 10/05/2019, thanks to kathryneels for assistance with note-taking. Black pour with some brown around the edges and a medium tan head that diminishes gradually to a dense film. Patchy lace. Bourbon, malt and chocolate in the nose. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, fudge, roast coffee and malt. The finish is oaky with a bourbon and malt aftertaste. Good beer overall.
