An amazing stout that I was lucky enough to have 2 pints of at a recent family reunion (early summer 2017) in the Kansas City area. I have to say it's the best stout I've ever had. It has a very high abv, but with the bourbon, chocolate and coffee flavors the alcohol is nicely distant. This was the best beer I had on a 2 week trip through the southeastern U.S..

2016 Bottle. 1 Pint, 0.9oz. Bottled on September 20, 2016. 13.8% ABV.

Look: Jet black, thin head of tan foam, quickly
dissipating.
Smell: On the sweeter side, but full of chocolate with a coffee finish. Hints of caramel and dried fruit.
Taste: Thick and hearty, heavier on the chocolate with really no booze burn but a slight bourbon flavor on the back. A little malty, complimenting the bitterness of the even coffee notes found in the beer. Still getting that subtle sweetness, with hints of dried cherries and plums.
Feel: pretty heavy body. Sticky and awesome, with a very slight carbonation level.

The final beer in an incredible tasting lineup for the day. All so distinctly different, but I truly feel that this was really the epitomization of the imperial stout style; balanced with malt, chocolate, and coffee. An amazing finish to this day.
