Polaris

From a 2011 bottle, number 317 of 336. Pours opaque with a quarter inch of mocha foam. Retention is fleeting. No lacing at all. Aroma has brown sugar, bourbon, and vanilla. Obviously the barrel comes through nicely. Underlying beer is mute. Taste is the same as the aroma. Bourbon barrel, vanilla, and brown sugar keep this beer alive. A bit sweet in the finish. Medium body with light carbonation. A nice beer but there isn't much base beer to be found. "Smaller" than expected. Enjoy!
