Pours dark brown, beige head, thick golden lacing.
Aroma, plenty of chocolate, barrel and malts.
Flavor, light wood barrel, hints of vanilla, chocolate malts with coconut. Chocolate adds a mild bitterness.
Easy to drink at 5.5% and the bourbon doesn’t come too over the top. mreusch (743), Olathe, Kansas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 17, 2009 22oz. bottle. Pours dark brown/black with a moderate tan head. Aroma is a nice blend of cocoa, milk chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, and light oak. Flavor is more cocoa, chocolate, vanilla and some light oak and bourbon. Not anything heavy handed here, the barrel aging is lighter and stays complimentary, which works pretty well overall. Interesting to see barrel aging on a lower ABV beer. Nice stuff! mar (1972), Dallas, Texas, USA
