Backlogged rating from several months ago. On draft at Beer Revolution. It pours a hazy brownish orange with an off white head. The aroma is toast, cocoa, and soft oakiness with light notes of plum and raisin bread. The flavor is bourbon, caramel, oak, and a little vanilla up front followed by raisins and very mild cocoa. More nutty barrel near the finish. All the flavors are subtle and in balance, but make for a powerful combo. Really nice. I’m excited to see where Linden Street goes in the future with these experimental beers.

Draft. Dark mahogony beer with a dark cream head. Light chooclate andlight bourbon aroma. Bourbon and light chooclate flavor with light wheat. Medium bodied. Bourbon and light chocolate lingers with light wheat.

On tap. Clear dark copper brown with almost no head. Sweet caramel, molasses, and bourbon aroma and taste with an oaty, grainy bourbon finish. Thick creamy palate. Nice.
