3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Black, moderate light brown head. Somewhat thin aroma of corn whiskey, chocolate, molasses, licorice, and dark fruits. Smoke, wood, and soy sauce come out during the tasting. Sweetness from the honey, bitterness from the whiskey barrel. Full-bodied, thick, and a bit too much carbonation. Long bitter finish. Definitely a slow sipper.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle... Hazy dark brown ale with a small, creamy, khaki head that’s gone in a flash. Bourbon, caramel, chocolate and leather are the aromatic elements that stand out the most. Medium to full-bodied with relaxed carbonation. The bouquet is an interwoven, moderately sweet assortment of bourbon, deeply-roasted malts and fudge. Finishes bourbony and warming. Bottle courtesy of ctipping!
