I consumed Mortimer in a tulip glass on tap at the beer shoppe in Davis, CA
A: Great pour resulted in a beautiful tan, fluffy head. The brew itself was extremely dark with almost no light coming through.
S: Nice oaky aroma. I'm getting lots of coconut and some slight vanilla. Not as rich as I'd like, but still very good.
T: Light bourbon taste up front with big a lot of oak flavors. I'm getting some alcoholic vanilla too. I can certainly taste coffee throughout. I was honestly expecting a larger hop presence, but I think some of the hop flavors flavors yielded to the barrel aging. It certainly does have a bitter finish though.
M: This beer was way too light in my opinion. However it was very creamy. This left me at an average mouthfeel.
O: I wanted this to have bigger flavors and a bigger body. That said, only the body is truly lacking. Flavor is good but not great.

Apparently Mortimer is what happens when Mojo Risin' Double IPA and Planet Porter meet in a Bourbon Barrel. The result is pretty decent.
Mortimer arrived in a shaker pint glass with a small head and a deep walnut hue. The head had nice staying power and left a nice amount of lace.
As with many a bourbon barrel aged beer, the barrel really comes through at first. It adds a heavy oak, toffee and alcohol presence. Planet Porter brings it's stout-light coffee and burnt bitterness flavors, plus a hint of baking chocolate. The bitterness from Mojo is quite pronounced and carries a heavy grapefruit and lemon citrus bite. Alcohol adds a touch of warmth, but is otherwise well masked. The beer has a nice silkiness in the mouth.
Overall, I liked this, but it would be nice to try and non-barrel aged version.
