1/1/21 - from brewery-filled growler 20-minutes earlier
A- Poured into a pint glass with virtually no head - 1/16" or less. Opaque dark brown with just a touch of ruby tint at the very bottom.
S- Moderately strong smell of bourbon with toffee or caramel and coffee that really made the mouth water.
T- Immediate rush of coffee with hints of chocolate. Overall the bourbon flavor is subtle - more noticeable in the smell and aftertaste than the taste - light compared to some other BBA's.
M- Relatively thin with medium carbonation that is more dry at first and develops a nice lingering aftertaste. Carbonation fades over time as it warms and becomes very smooth and more syrupy.
O- First time trying this seasonal offering from our dominant local brewer and I'd get it again - especially on occasion. At first seemed like a novelty, as the bourbon in the smell is more prevalent than the taste... made me think it would be great in certain situations such as a fire-side beer, or with a cigar, etc. but enjoyed it even more as it warms up and carbonation dulls - a slightly more 'drinkable' version with BBA tones than some of the other BBA's that have the dominant, overwhelming BBA taste and higher ABV effect.

It poured a light translucent brown color with a full inch beige head. There were strong aromas of bananas with some vanilla. As it warmed up, the bourbon became more prominent with richer notes of bananas. The taste was pretty much spot on with what I smelled. It immediately tasted like bananas with notes of chocolate - kind of like a Monkey Tail dessert. As it warmed up, it seemed the bananas were actually a derivative of the bourbon itself. It has increased in complexity with a sweet and malty finish. Its pretty light bodied in the mouth which is expected for its low ABV. This is a great beer, I love the notes of bourbon in a low ABV porter.
