Barley Johns The Dark Knight (Returns)

A deep red beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is primarily of chocolate, but combined with hints of wood and bourbon. The flavor is quite roasted with notes of chocolate, prunes, wood, and bourbon, leading to a dry end. The alcohol gives it a lovely burn in the end. Lovely.

(Growler 64 oz) Courtesy of yespr. Opaque black with a small, light brown head. Sweetish vanilla and bourbon notes. Medium-bodied, sweetish roasted malt, oak, vanilla and very distinct bourbon. Slightly medicinal perhaps. Ends sweet without much bitterness but VERY hot and alcoholic. 070907

Very dark brown. Stinging alcohol aroma with hints of chocolate, vanilla, and bourbon. Overall sweet palate with plenty of bourbon and alcohol leading to a vanilla-accented finish. It’s not bad by any means, but the heat is a bit out of whack and I’m not a big fan of the way bourbon flavours blast their way through just about every beer they touch. It lacks the delicacy and style I want in a big brew (Yes, I ask for delicacy in big beer, like for example Lijian Yinjiu or Sam Adams Millenium or Deus)

From growler. Black coloured with a beige head. Woody and roasted aroma of liquorice, glue and red wine. Roasted flavour of liquorice, alcohol and vanilla. Roasted and warming alcoholice finish.

Growler. A black beer with a small beige head. The aroma is light roasted malt, glue, fruits and alcohol, so is the taste. Medium to full body with a alcoholic finish. Very alcoholic!!!
