Was saving this to commemorate my book on beer fandom that never got written. Oh, well. Rich, chocolate roast malt nose right off the bat. I do clearly pick up some bourbon in the nose, despite the description of "partial" barrel aging. Black stout body with a thin layer of tan foam. Has aged very nicely. Has equal parts bourbon and stout taste, and the nuts come up the middle, though I wasn't told it was pecan, I'd not have guessed it.
Drinks very nicely, which is a crapshoot in an older cellar beer. A little lighter than other bourbon barrel stouts.

16 oz can from the Dojo. Surprising golden pour like a regular beer, but with some visible particles. Smell offers coconut and bitter roasted coffee. Fizzy dwindling foam. It the horchata the comes up first in the taste, Coffee doesn't show up on the palate. A bit of an improvement over their regular Horchata Ale. And there's the coffee, coming up on the side. The horchata character stays consistent, with coconut probably needed to keep it from getting overwhelming.
