Pour is a peach color with a large white head. Aroma is banana with some sugar and yeast. Flavor is more banana with some spicy hops. Kinda a big alcohol kick toward the end and finishes with some candi sugar. Ok beer and decent for a sample but woulden’t need again as its very light and watery toward the end and the alcohol is there is a big way.

Sampled on draft at the Headkeeper this beer poured a hazy pale yellow color with a small white head that left no lacing. The aroma was lemon, pepper, dryish and a touch musty. The flavor was dry lemon, pepper and touches of must and coriander. The finish was tart lemon and must. Light body. Very refreshing. Solid.

Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a black color with an enormous creamy dark brown head that lingered forever and left great lacing. The aroma was very much lacking in subtlety and hit you over the head with whiskey, cocoa and coffee - but was too harsh with these. The flavor was harsh and bitey whiskey, oak, coffee and vanilla with undertones of cola and raisin. Exceptionally boozy with whiskey really overwhelming and distracting from anything else. The finish was long with whiskey, oak and coffee lingering forever. Full bodied. Decent but very flawed.

Bottle at SAVOR. This one poured a pitch black color with a tan head. Aroma was dark fruits, roasted and toasted malts, alcohol notes, and a touch of bourbon. This was solid! Flavor was vanilla wood, oaked flavors, dried fruit notes, chocolate. Alcohol is present, but not overpowering, especially with such great flavors that pierce the rest of the beer. Will be seeking this one out for another go.

Pours the darkest shade of brown bordering on black but still lets a faint bit of light through. Thinnish Khaki head shows a moderate desire to hold its place at the top but is inevitably sucked back into the abyss. Smells of bourbon and chocolate right off the bat. Vanilla, licorice and molasses are mixed with hints of burnt sugar. Some harsher alcohol comes out as she warms up, but I could smell this thing all night if you let me. The taste leans towards the sweet end of the spectrum. Creamy rich dark chocolate covered espresso beans dipped in bourbon then dredged into dark brown sugar just about sums up the flavor here. Lingering roast and bourbon on the finish. Creamy smooth mouthfeel, thick body, and a light level of carbonation. I really enjoyed this one, although it is certainly a sipper and maybe a touch too sweet. I’m glad I got to try this but at north of 20 dollars for the 750 this is one and done for me.
