On tap at The Original 40, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of cocoa, gentle banana, and soft bourbon barrels. Flavour is decadent, with intense banana syrup, chocolate, dark sugars, and bourbon barrels. I don’t like banana in stouts, but this works wonderfully—of course, it does; it’s MT in disguise.

On tap at The Original 40, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is full of huge bourbon barrels, vanillin, dark sugars, molasses, and oak. Flavour is super rich and complex, with huge bourbon barrel complexity, dark sugars, vanillin, cocoa, and wood. Wonderful barrel character, deep sugars, woodiness. MT tier indeed.
