500mL bottled April 2024, drunk 9/17/25.
Dark, inky, viscous, clear. Small, dark tan head.
Big, bold, vinous raisin, plum notes mixing with rich, sweet bourbon. I checked this bottle twice to confirm it was not Port Barrel-aged, as it REALLY smells and tastes like port (sweet, candyish grape). I guess it's just a really rich, sweet bourbon or rye? That and maybe some malt character contributing to all of this sweet plum-raisin-grape. Rich, thick, chewy, almost syrupy texture is satisfying, and it's not too sweet, nor is it boozey at all. Maybe a bit too much on the grapey/port character, as that gets a bit tiresome by the end of the bottle, but otherwise this is stellar stuff.

dark brown to black, baeautiful brown head with whiter areas.
aroma is roasted malts, fainter smoked malts, wood, charred wood, hard roasted malts. not sweet at all but still velvety , well blended and non-burnt. super fine aroma. also finer notes similar to espresso coffee, dark chocolate.
flavor is sweet from the bourbon, roasted malts, oak, licorice, faint coffee like note, end is roasted malty and slightly charred woody, far far end is dark caramelly, more wood, hints of bourbon.
pretty solid flavor. A great imp. porter and not at all pastry - old scool, and well done at that.

Crisp, grainy and slightly bready malty with some grassy hoppiness and dry bitterness. Crushable.

Smooth, spicy and roasty with some chili, cinnamon, vanilla, hints of oakiness and barrel. Okay, quite similar to Prairie Bomb.
