Small Batch Hoarders: Monkey Bizness
The Bruery

A: Poured into a snifter to a black beer which is topped by a finger of rockly light tan head which fades slowly to a collar around the edge of the glass with minimal lacing
S: Smells of vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate, bourbon barrels and some hints of pecans
T: Taste is cinnamon, dulce de leche, vanilla, chocolate, pecans, woodspice and oak with more cinnamon. On the finish there's more cinnamon, a little alcohol, caramel, pecans vanilla, oak, and lingering hints of roasted malts.
M: This beer has a body which is on the heavier side of medium with soft and slightly effervescent carbonation. The beer has a drying finish due to the ABV.
O: Overall this is a really nice beer. Maybe a little adjunct heavy but still really enjoyable to drink with decent complexity.

 

375ml bottle poured into a tulip

A- pours brown in color with a one-finger foamy khaki head that has short retention

S- aroma is a bit muted at first, but as it warms it opens with notes of cinnamon and vanilla, followed by candied pecans and a hint of vanilla. Undertones of oaky bourbon

T- sweet and malty up front with a big hit of caramel and vanilla cream, followed by some cinnamon spice mid-palate. The finish brings out a blast of bourbon barrel, along with more cinnamon and caramel. Lingers of caramel, sweet bread and bourbon

M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that continues into a silky, warming finish

O- let this one warm up a bit, as it begins to open the longer it sits
