Mode: Draft
Source: Barley’s, Asheville NC
Appearance: opaque brown, big creamy tan head, thick lace
Aroma: sweet chocolate aroma, touch of bourbon, light spicyness
Flavor: sweet chocolate and vanilla flavor, caramel candy, nice bourbon character, light oak, little to no apparent bitterness, nice spicy Manhatten character
Overall: very well balanced with lots of flavor in a more sessionable beer (and, yes, I consider 7.5% sessionable), edit: I had been sessioning several 7.5% beers when I said 7.5% was sessionable. The next morning disagreed.
