Traded C&C bottle. Gorgeous pour with a thick, foamy, brown head like milk chocolate. Cork smelled great like chocolate and coffee. Great flavor too: the bourbon is up front but then you get a hit of booziness at the finish. Well done and tasty.

On the nose there’s not much more than your typical bourbon barrel IS but on the palate it is somewhat unique. I feel like its unusual to see a bourbon barrel stout with such hop character. As the beer warms, you lose the hops but it ,attains a cool balance. This is not a super wow beer but its really pretty good.
