Bottle… This beer rocks!… Pours dark brown with a small, creamy, khaki head. The aroma offers complex layers of milk chocolate, coconut, vanilla and a nice, light nuttiness. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with tingly carbonation. The flavor is both chocolaty and nutty with a nice kiss of bourbon. Finishes bittersweet and a touch papery. Kudos to biggsbowler for sharing this world class bottle of beer!

A deep dark porter with a thin brown head. In aroma, a pungent bourbon barrel, wood coming out nicely, wood extract, cork, in your face. In mouth, a tobacco laden chocolate, with molasses, metallic hops, wood extract, a bit too much for me, but a nice challenge. On tap at the brewpub, August 13, 2011.
