Golden Avalanche Bourbon Stout

Dark body, small medium tan head. Nose is pure vanilla extract syrup. Taste is pasty and sweet, turns basically into a vanilla soda over the middle, finishing with some roasted vanilla beans and cola. Weird. No stout in there at all, and no bourbon whatsoever, just vanilla, vanilla and more vanilla.

Rating #700, woohoo! Draft @ Golden Avalanche, pre-BCTC beerventure. Pours a dark cola color; medium tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Vanilla extract and light chocolate in the aroma. Overly sweet, marshmallow and cheap vanilla extract upfront; more of a cola character than any sort of legitimate bourbon, with some warm chocolate and no show of alcohol. Doesn’t seem to be much bourbon or stout in here, just vanilla cola. Still drinkable, but not good. Only ABV info I could find was "it’s probably above 7%, because it’s a big beer."

on tap-pours a thin light tan head and dark brown color. Aroma is cherry, vanilla, malt, chocolate. Taste is more Jack Daniel-like than the aroma and not quite as good as the aroma. A bit thin.
