Shoreline Singing Toad Bourbon Blend

dark brown pour with a tan head that disappears. the nose was nothing but air. i didn’t get a hint of the bourbon (commercial description says "elijah craig bourbon". never heard of it). the flavor also has no hint of bourbon which is the only reason i tried this brew. sorry. this one either missed the target, or neglected to tell me what the target was (and that’s too much like work to me).

If you’ve had the Shoreline Singing Sands Oatmeal Stout, you know it’s great. The Drunken Toad has other opinions - only a Hophead could love it. I like about 4 swigs of the Drunken Toad, and then I’m ready for a Miller Lite. However, this mixture, with it also being aged for 6 months in a bourbon barrel (how does one exactly obtain a 12-year old bourbon barrel - forget it, I DON’T WANNA KNOW!!!!), mellows the Toad. You still get a bit of hoppy flavor, but the oatmeal stout mellows it, as does the overtones of bourbon (Is it Jim Beam? - Nah, don’t tell me!). Served at the pub in a 10.5 oz glass, because a 12 oz glass of this would kick your booty. You can’t taste the alcohol as you drink this, but you can feel it. Order a loaf of pretzel bread and the Buffalo Calamari with this and you’re straight!!!
