Bourbon Barrel Aged Belgian Strong Dark Ale
This deep mahogany-colored dark strong ale has a wonderful aroma of vanilla, dark fruits, and spicy oak. With the addition of cacao nibs, the chocolatey flavor is complemented by fig, date, and oak undertones. The oak tannins balance the chocolate malt flavors and the beer finishes with a slight alcohol warmth.
Notes of rich caramel and chocolate.
Pairs well with crushing dreams.

Dark brown with red edges and a creamy tan blanket.
This weird beer smells like DORITOS and I have no idea why, nor can I get that out of my head after I notice it right up front. It's a bit toasty and the weird combo of cacao and Belgian yeast give even the palate a vegetal banana skin sort of flavor, with a light phenol and milkiness.

Look: Dark chocolate brown and hazy. Three fingers of foamy tan head with decent retention.
Smell: Mild bread and chocolate. Very little smell.
Taste: Likewise, very mild. Gentle malt and a little chocolate. Mild savory warmth and the barest hint of spices.
Mouthfeel: Decent body and carbonation.
Overall: For all it hypes itself up to be, this is a surprising disappointment. The flavor and bouquet just aren't there. Literally.

Bottle from Tavour
Copper brown in color with a small off white head that dissipates quickly. Dark fruit light chocolate with some earthy notes and a bit of vanilla and faint oak tannin. A bit of warming alcohol comes out especially as she warms. Well made dark sipper.
