6.2/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Sampled from a bottle. Lots of alcohol in the aroma, with bourbon and distinct vanilla aroma. Very sweet, too sweet really. The flavor is dominated by sweet malt and bourbon flavor. A well made beer, but I have the impression this was better before the bourbon aging.

Bottle @ Mobile, thanks to Brad! Pours a black appearance with a brown head. Thick chocolate brownie, vanilla, brown sugar aroma. Medium body. Maybe a little thin. Tons of chocolate, cocoa, brownie, and light spice. Some light whiskey. Good beer.

12oz can. Macro yellow pour but a nice medium head that fades to moderate lacing. Aroma is nice bouquet of noble hops. Beautifully crisp malt and great freshness and slight sticky white bread. The flavor just doesn’t live up to the hype. A little less crisp the hop bouquet dies down. A moderate bitterness at lasts a bit longer than I want. There is just less flavor than the nose hints at. Thanks for sharing Chris.

On tap at Pizza Lucé. Pours a clear amber with a burnt orange hue and an off-white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has sweet grains with a nice smokiness and a bit of rye underlying. Flavor starts with light sweet grains and a bit of smoke that grows through the beer and has a touch of light woodiness.
