Thanks to Sparky for sharing this rare treat!! It pours dark brown in body with a mocha head and dark sheets temporarily staining the inside of the glass. The aroma is big, bold and chewy sweet with a terrific mix of chocolate, bourbon, vanilla and more chocolate mixing with dark roasted maltiness. The taste is yummy smooth and somewhat creamy with sweet vanilla, coconut, chocolate, dark roasted malts, molasses and oily rich dark roasted coffee. The honey intercedes beautifully between the bourbon booze notes and the chocolate and roastiness and really pulls this whole thing together. Double wowwow.

Big thanks to SuperDave for sharing this. I didn’t even know this beer existed. Wow! Pours clear copper with amber core and tan head. The aroma offers up some roasted malts, apricot skins, some cherries, malts and raisins. The taste is a little on the rough side with malts, a bit of roasted malts and then pine hops, raisins, apricots and then pretty bold spicy hop like black licorice heading into the finish. Nice hoppy brew but a bit young and rough right now.

This pours mostly clear light gold with a tall, sticky, white head. The aroma is all hops, pine and citrus. The flavor is mostly all a light bitterness. A hint of sweetness comes just before the dry finish kicks in but you won’t find it lingering around for long before the bitter finishes.
