On tap at the brewpub the other day. According to the beer menu at the brewpub, this is a whiskey barrel aged RIS, with something like 90 IBU's.
The beer pours a blackish brown color with good head retention and lacing. The is a attractive enough, as I pick up vanilla, licorise, some light malted vinegar and black coffee. There's some underlying whiskey in the nose as well, but it's not overdone, and certainly doesn't come close to dominationg the aroma profile. The flavor profile replicates the nose pretty closely, with almonst none of the whiskey flavor present. The amount of hoppy bittterness comes through much more prominantly on the palate, and it balances and dries up the moderate sweetness very well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a long, vanilla and licorise finish. As the beer warmed up a bit, I also seemed to pick up some dark chocolate on the nose and palate as well. Alcohol is pretty well integrated into the flavor profile, though certainly you can tell it's up there a bit.
While nothign earth shattering, I thought this a pretty solid beer from the folks at 10 barrel.
