Description
Mission Brewery was originally established in 1913, but like most breweries of the time, it went out of business during the first year of Prohibition. In 2007, Dan Selis, an avid homebrewer, re-established the brand and has built it into one of the top craft breweries in San Diego County.

22oz bottle side by side with the regular version. Pours out black topped with a small tan head. nose is big bourbon barrel notes booze chocolate vanilla and plenty of the roast. Taste is more of the bourbon barrel goodness vanilla roast malts coffee and chocolate sweetness. I liked how the bourbon barrel helped cut out some of the heavy chocolate from the regular version.

This brew is a hazy brownish-amber color with a medium thick light beige head that recedes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of rye malt, hops and fruit. Full-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, resiny hops and fruit. The finish is rye malt up front with a piney hops aftertaste. Above average overall.
