“Blend of bourbon barrel–aged barleywine married with tequila barrel-aged imperial stout.”
“Exotic aroma: hints of chocolate and bourbon but also tequila. Flavor is just as complex with cola, agave, chocolate.”
“Sherry and Flanders red notes in the aroma, rich and saturated with a strong vinous core that carries through into the flavor without reaching ‘sour’ or even ‘tart.’”
“Aroma is intense, rich, vinous booze but has layers of definitively beer-like honey-tinged sweetness. Even the spicy aromas are complex. Gooey raisins and sticky dates. The roasted character comes in with loads of brownie batter, blackberries, bourbon, and a hint of cinnamon and black pepper at the finish. Port and sherry alcohol lingers through the finish. Nothing singular.”
Some dried fruit thickness here–plum, raisin, fig. Bourbon barrel character upfront in the aroma with hints of alcohol and some dark fruits like raisins. Spike of sweet jammy goodness right off the bat followed by a smooth mellowed woodiness, but in the sweetest sense. Milk chocolate and alcohol dominate the flavor and the presence of alcohol lasts through the flavor, but does not burn. Nutella-y in its smoothness. Decadent. Sweet, rich body followed by a beautiful tannic cut. Deep chocolate covered raisin flavor lasts through the aftertaste.
“Heavy bourbon- and rum-barrel character, spicy alcohol with candied toffee, maple, rum, caramel. Low roast malt, raisins, figs with bigger barrel notes.”
