Commercial Description:
A bit of backwoods pleasure without the banjo. This strong stout is brewed with a hint of coffee and vanilla then aged in oak bourbon barrels. Our process ensures that strong bourbon undertones come through in the finish in every batch we brew. We recommend decanting at room temperature and best enjoyed in a brandy snifter.

From my backlog. Beautiful pour with a tan whipped-cream head. Huge oak, vanilla and bourbon aroma that lead me into the first sip. The same in the flavour except for a nice creamy texture that gives a wonderful sensation on the palate. Decent viscosity and an odd carbonation present. A bit like Unibroue with a slight yeasty presence. Not my cup of tea here, but everything else about this is wonderful. Coffee, more vanilla, a bit of chocolate all square-dance on my tongue. Nice complementary bitterness on the backend. Very well done!

12 oz bottle, pours like motor oil, jet black with brown head. Head is frothy and small, and dissipated fully, leaving a small amount of lacing. Aroma is incredible, one of the best smelling beers I’ve ever encountered. Aroma is overwhelmingly coffee, with a bit of chocolate and bourbon. Taste is very, very strong coffee, with bourbon barrel wood, tobacco and slight chocolate. Mouthfeel is quite creamy with slight fizz. Excellent beer, one of the best stouts I’ve had. But it’s rich and strong, couldn’t drink more than one of these.

Pours a rich, oil, opaque dark brown color with a small brown head. Nose of fresh coffee beans ,roasted malts , bourbon are predominant. Initial taste of bourbon splashing over the mouth topped coffee beans. Mild chocolate lingering. Mid palate to finish indeed is roasty with lots of bourbon. Balancing hop and vanilla finish. Palate duration is long and wet. The warming of the abv is good for a 10% which is well hidden.

Aroma of sweet malts with a distinct bourbon tone. Flavor is a melding of roasted coffee, chocolate and whiskey. Dry, tart finish. Tasty!
