Flaska. Mörkbrun öl med litet smutsvitt skum. Vaniljen dominerar starkt i både doft och smak. Sen fyller det på med choklad och bourbon också i både smak och doft. I den förra finns också en viss citrus. Väl avvägd beska/sötma. Kolsyrig munkänsla.

12-oz bottle pours a hazy dark brownish copper colored brew with a nice beige head that slowly dissipates to a thin creamy top. Aroma of coconut, bourbon, some caramel malt, and a touch of tart berrries. Taste is full bodied, bourbon character with some coconut, chocolate and caramel. Finish is semi-dry, some mild bitterness with a lingering bourbon aftertaste.

Black with mahogany highlights, thin head that dissipated to nothing and left little lace. Aromas of boozy bourbon, oak, vanilla, roasted malt and caramel. Sweetness of the malt is forward, with some smokiness and plenty of booze. Medium mouthfeel, slightly watery texture, modest carbonation, and a lingering sweetness in the finish.

Gift from S.J.. Caramel, oak, vanilla = winning combination. The finish was bourbon, and dark chocolate and earth. Strong Ales are becoming one of my favorite styles. Thanks SJ.

Bottle. Pours deep ruby amber brown in color with a huge white head. Notes of sweet molasses, vanilla, oak, fresh zesty hops. It has a well rounded body and character that makes it satisfying to sit, sip and enjoy.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a very large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized brown colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a no visible carbonation opaque brown colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The aroma was mild vinous and dark malt. The thick mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start mediumly tingly at the finish roasted malt aftertaste. The strong flavor contained notes of roasted malt mild hops and dark malt. Delicious for $2.39 and one I would certainly like to buy again.
