Draft at Bittercreek during the recent tap takeover.. Inky black with dark brown head that dies back as quick as it rises up... Thick coffee and bourbon combine with milk chocolate sweetness to tie everything together.. Thick and coating on the palate.. Incredibly rich.. This is a huge winner. It would be a shame if this never saw the inside of bottles.. and those bottles didn't make it to Boise.. Hint Hint.

Poured a black mahogany color with two fingers of dark tan head when I got it. Above average spotty lacing on the sides of the glass. Above average retention. (Sight - 4.00)
First thought on the smell was wow. Got dark fruits, deep bourbon, black coffee, caramel, toffee, chocolate ice cream, vanilla and late butterscotch. Very good. (Smell - 4.50)
Taste followed the nose, but maybe not quite as good. Got chocolate syrup, vanilla, creamy toffee, caramel, roasted coffee malts and rich bourbon. Tasted nowhere near 13.1 percent, maybe like 7 tops. (Taste - 4.25)
Full body. Creamy texture. Lively-to-fizzy carbonation. Long, smooth finish. Probably a bit too cold. (Feel - 4.25)
This was just a really good beer. Would love to try the regular version. (Overall - 4.25)
