  • Pours opaque. Half-inch of deep tan foam covers. Fleeting. Nary a trace in 30 seconds. No lacing.

    Aroma has nice roundness and complexity. Leather, tobacco, brown sugar, and chocolate. The aging brings bourbon, oak and some char. The brown sugar is possibly the strongest note but is offset but by the dark malts and other barrel notes.

    Taste has a big hit of brown sugar, late, which lingers. Otherwise chocolate, tobacco, oak, bourbon and char mingle, coexisting through out. The transition from middle to end of the beer is a bit harsh as flavor fight.

    Big body, but not overly thick. Doesn't leave a sweet residue on the lips. Carbonation is on the low end. Beer doesn't need it. Carbonation lingers while the palate dries.

    This is a solid beer. The nose is just about perfect as the complexity really entices the sense. The difficult transition in the taste is about the only flaw in an otherwise ridiculously good craft beer. Enjoy!
