Picked up a growler while visiting family. This is one of my favorite beers, by far. Poured in a pint glass, the beer is an extremely dark brown coloring, almost black in the deepest points. The brew starts with a thick, chunky, airy head that starts around three inches and quickly settles into a thin film. Good level of bubbles throughout the brew, and there is a decent lacing on the glass. Nose is extremely robust and round, with a strong mocha chocolate backbone, a hint of coffee bitter, and a good overtone of rich vanilla from the barrel aging. Flavor is coffee initially, with a rich, creamy vanilla and whiskey hue, and a touch of bittersweet chocolate. Body stays rich and creamy throughout, with a great feel for the flavors. The aftertaste is roasted coffee and chocolate, and the finish is creamy and slick. Tremendous brew!

Really nice BA porter from Brown's. It has all of the roast flavors that you'd expect from an English porter, and the barrel aging adds a nice hit of whiskey--oak and vanilla, and a fairly large bit of alcohol.

Poured a black body with two-finger head and a roasted malt aroma with strong boozy notes and bits of sweetness. Smooth beer thanks to the barrel aging/wood aspect but there are times when the booze overpowers and at times the alcohol is hot on the backend. Fuller bodied beer that has some sweetness and enjoyable beer but it's slightly off balance.

This is a great unique local brew. Malty with hints of whiskey. Refreshing this time of year.
