GABF 2006: Very dark brown color with a tan head. Yummy creamy vanilla aroma. Vanilla played a big part in the flavor as well. The aroma and flavor had just enough bourbon. Notes of chcolate and roasted malt as well.

GABF 2006. Black bodied. Nose is bourbon, vanilla, chocolate and roasted malts. Pretty typical. Taste echoes that with more bourbon, roasty malts, dark fruits, chocolate, woody notes, and sweetened coffee. Body is creamy. Medium-full feel with light carbonation. Finishes with more roasty malts, chocolate, light coffee, vanilla some wood, and bourbon.

Warm swallow after a supremly buttered toffees malt flavor a good amount of bourbon as well. Pretty good but needs to mellow under some more aging.
