Our delicious stout-aged in a barrel since 2010, has a nose of coffee, roasted malts and piney hops. This medium-bodied stout has a broad depth of maltiness and a clean, dry finish.

On tap at Local Option on 12/14/12, served in a snifter.
Pour: Pitch black, with some tan head that quickly dissipates to a collar. No lacing.
Smell: Big bourbon bite up front, followed by some dark chocolate, and more booze. Roasted malts on the finish.
Taste: Follows the nose with boozy bourbon up front, some dark chocolate, and a light marshmallow. Lots of roasted malts. Finish is boozy bourbon and caramel.
Mouthfeel: Lighter, with nice carb. Booziness is warming and hot. I can imagine this was very hot when it was first released.
Overall: A nice, lighter bourbon barrel stout. A little hot still, and I'm not sure the body can suppor the barrel aging.
