Brewed Nov. 2010, aged in Templeton Rye Whiskey barrels until Dec. 2011, drank Oct. 2012. Almost 2 years old!
Inky black liquid; no light passes.
Zero head/lacing.
Nose of whiskey; no beer attributes detectable.
Thick mouthfeel.
Strong whiskey flavor; perhaps a touch of chocolate on the back end. Just like the brown ale Upstream also aged, this is all whiskey, with very little beer flavor carrying over. I'd rather just have a glass of whiskey.
Disappointing; not sure I'll even finish this.

A: Nearly black with no head; and actually decent lacing
S: Tons of whiskey, oak, dark fruits, molasses; it is roasty and vinous with coffee and chocolate undertones; this smells so boozy and awesome
T: So vinous and boozy and oaky with similar flavors to the aromas: molasses, raisins, chocolate, coffee; this beer just gets better as it warms
F: The mouth feel is obviously a bit strange since it is purposefully (?) under-carbonated; it's fairly chewy but the lack of carbonation does make it a touch thin
O: This is a fantastic beer; the mouthfeel takes some getting used to, but it grows on you as it warms; really a nice beer
