On tap at Capone’s, Norristown. Nice thick body, somewhat oily consistency and a medium head. Nose of sharp booze but also heavy vanilla bean. Body was a bit slick, palate occasionally a bit hot. Flavors were very enjoyable, with the bourbon mellowing alongside vanilla and hints of sweet cherry.

UPDATED: MAY 16, 2012 Sample on draft at The House of 1000 Beers this beer poured a black color with a small creamy tan head that lingered and left incredible lacing. The aroma was coconut, vanilla, malted milk and light chocolate. The flavor was moderately bitter and toasty with notes of coconut, vanilla, chocolate syrup, bourbon, malted milk and raisin. There was a light boozy presence that did note distract too much. The fish was long with coconut, vanilla, cocoa and raisin lingering. Thick, smooth and creamy body. Excellent.
