Tap at brewery. Black pour with a thin scatter of tan foam. Aroma is bourbon, oak, minor vanilla, some alcohol heat, and underlying roast. Taste is heavy bourbon with vanilla and an almost sweet cola flavor followed by roast, chocolate, and hop/alcohol bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel is a bit light but appropriate. The barrel character is semi-hot and dominates the base beer but it works. Great barrel aged beer in the sub-10% abv range.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Dark brown pour with a small tan head. The aroma reminds me of chocolate milk with a little bit of vanilla added to it. Minimal roast and coffee notes, just an overwhelming chocolate/vanilla blend. Great barrel and bourbon flavor with even more of the chocolate and vanilla going on. Moderate roast and a hint of coffee. Nicely sweet from some toffee malt flavors. So damn good.

Tap @ Bruery Provisions. Smells like barrel aged stout, not over powering. Taste is phenomenal. Some earthiness, some licorice, some malt, some alcohol, some barrel - incredibly balanced. Pours opaque, nearly jet black with tan head. Long lasting palate that just lingers and lingers...
