Draft at Maple Shade during the barrel aged beers event. Poured a darker shade of brown with burgundy edges and a dark foamy quick fading head. Aroma of syrupy chocolate, light bourbon, vanilla beans, coccoa powder. Medium bodied with average to stronger carbonation and a long lingering flavor. Flavor has some noticeable alcohol throughout, vanilla extract, bourbon, dark chocolate, dry dark toast, hint of toffee and molasses. Probably one of the best beers of the day.

Tap at brewpub, pours black with medium caramel colored head, good sticky lacing. Aromas and taste of heavy barrel, chocolate, roasted malt, sweet bourbon, vanilla, plum, and light licorice. Layered and balanced beautifully. Light carbonation, smooth palate. Easily my favorite of the event and maybe the best Iron Hill I have tried so far.

Dark brown pour with a tan head. Aroma is roast, soy sauce, wood, vanilla, and bourbon. Taste is roasted malt, licorice, char, bourbon, and smokey wood chips. Soft carbonation with a sweet long finish.

Excellent blah blah blah blah, fill up the character limit. This beer is really really really really really good Great flavor and finish and awesomeness
