draft at the brewpub: pours dark black, no head, aroma of bourbon and malt, taste is bourbon, roasted malt, some coffee, pretty full bodied, an excellent brew...

On tap at Founders, served in a snifter. Deep, murky brown to black body, medium dissipating light tan head. Vinous nose with oak, sweet, rich molasses, and toasty malts. Rich, chewy body, dominated by big, marshmallowy molasses notes and sweet breads or candy, with just the right amount of oak and bourbon to enhance the alcohol heat. Complex, rich, and dangerously drinkable. The use of molasses gives this beer an interesting imperial stout-like quality, but the subtle hopping and lack of roasted flavors is firmly in the old ale camp. Delicious.
