Growler/mason jar shared by kp: Pours a rich opaque black with a thick, nicely lacing tan head. Pleasant aroma of rich bourbon and light roasted malt. Starts with a nice balanced sweetness and malty caramel with some dark chocolate. Finishes with a good bourbon character but no warming alcohol. A very nice bourbon stout. Thanks kp!

Sweet noseof bourbon, espresso, charred malts, and some light cream. Has a black body with a medium sized brown head. Light bourbon flavor throughout, sweet woody notes up front, then some butter and a heavy bourbon finish.

Draft at Fest: Opaque with a small tan head which diminished leaving an oily layer, good lace. The aroma has notes of vanilla, oak, whisky, roasted and burnt malts, pineapple, floral hops, and dusty yeast esters. The taste starts with a coffee and mocha nature. A nice balanced bourbon and vanilla kick, not over the top. Fruity and smoky finish. The feel is rich and smooth. Another winner from New Albanian, worth a trip to seek out their beers. Sweet (almost like an Imperial) !

Big thanks to KP for the giant mason jar o’ beer. Poured almost black with a ruby tint and a tan head. Roasted aroma with chocolate and a balanced amount of bourbon. Roasted flavors that matches the aroma. Creamy with a light carbonation and a bitter finish.
