7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours very dark brown with red glints and a tan head. Aroma of chocolate and oats. Not oak. Oats. Passing confusing. Med + body. Flavor is mild whisky, could be bourbon, a slightest bit of alcohol, chocolate, smooth dark malt, and vanilla. Finally getting some mild oak/wood. Doesn’t quite tie to the description, but it’s not that far off. A "refreshing" BA compared to many. Nice drink.
