Hunahpu Day pour #5. Dark brown/black with tan creamy head. Smell is all bourbon, not much chocolate, and is rather harsh. Flavor tastes like bourbon poured in a thin stout without any depth in flavor. Medium mouthfeel with low carbonation. The body just doesn't stand up to the bourbon barrels in this one, and it comes off as a shot of whiskey with a little beer in it. Not a huge fan of these lighter beers stuck in liquor barrels.

On tap at Cigar City during Tampa Bay Beer Week.
Being that I'm already a fan of Moo-Hoo, i was excited to see this on the mini-tap takeover list.
poured an opaque black, just what i would expect. red khaki head, minimal lacing.
a lot of barrel on the nose, rich chocolate and roasty malts.
Tasted a bit boozy, but i dont really mind that. whats the point of putting it in bourbon barrels if its not going to impart a bourbon flavor, right? my only issue with the flavor is that the barrel really threw the beer out of balance. most of the milky chocolate flavor i love in the regular moo-hoo disappeared as it was smashed by bourbon.
The mouthfeel was off. maybe a 6%-er wasnt the best choice for barrel aging. The flavors seem like they would mix well, and for the most part they did, but this beer doesn't have the body to hold up to the heavy barrel presence.
Overall, im glad i tried it, and perhaps would revisit it if i had a bottle that had been sitting for a couple of months to cool off. But the lack of balance really stood out to me.
