Angeloregon (1829), Portland, Oregon, USA Feb 16, 2008 Thanks to Tom Bleigh at Pyramid for sharing this wonderful beer. From a 22-oz. bottle--Poured a deep brown-black body with a fluffy creamy blanket head. Nose of robust bourbon and tannins. Chocolate and coffee flavors evident. Sweet, semi-dry, and creamy mouth feel. Finish reminded me of cookies and cream. Buttery oak vanilla and cacao complexity. This beer survived three years and is still unbelievably delicious. MacTarnahans needs to start making this one again!
