On tap at the Beer Baron. It pours a dark brown/black color with a thick, creamy light brown head. The aroma is awesome with rich dark chocolate, fudge, some wood and light notes of vanilla. Big mocha coffee as well. The flavor has more coffee, dark cocoa, vanilla, bourbon and light tartness on the palate. Big roasted finish with some tobacco ash, mild tartness, and spicy oak. Altamont cranked up the bourbon influence on this one, but the beer is chewy enough to take it on. A decadent treat.

Mini growler from Altamont. It pours dark brown with a thin tan head. The aroma is strong with peanuts and chocolate. Not too sweet smelling with hints of roasted malt. The flavor is again, very nutty with some cola notes on the palate and minor notes of chocolate and roasted malt. Very soda-like on the palate actually with more roast and peanuts in the finish. Body is a bit lacking. Not bad, but it could have been better.
