Enjoyed on tap at Loyal Legion Beaverton, in a snifter. This is a blend of pFriem Double Milk Stout and Double Oat Stout aged in Eagle Rare barrels.
Look:
The beer is the deepest red-brown, with dark amber highlights. When the beer arrived at my table it had only a thin and incomplete crescent of foam at the edge of the glass. A vigorous swirl fails to generate more than a few Islands of foam.
Smell:
The nose is a luscious combo of dark chocolate, caramel, bourbon, and the good kind of fruitcake. (You hush. It exists whether you like it or not.)
Taste:
As the nose was an improvement over the look, the taste is an upgrade of the nose. There's still plenty of dark chocolate there, followed by a cherry/blackberry note, and a nice bit of dulce de leche under that. There's also a good amount of vanilla. Plenty of bourbon. A hint of candy corn. (Odd, but it works here. And there it is in the nose, now that I check again.) Sweet but not too sweet. The finish is almond paste and fruity dark chocolate and more bourbon.
Feel:
Medium-heavy body that could use a few more pounds, but the texture is exquisite. Moderate flare of alcohol heat at the very end.
Overall:
This is a fine stout that could use a little more depth and a little more heft. But it shows off a lot of bourbon, and that suits me just fine.
Coda:
There is a parallel version of this beer: the same blend, but aged in Weller Antique barrels. I probably should've tried both beers side-by-side to get a better sense of how the barrels affected the base beer. (Better yet: both beers with a small pour of each bourbon on the side!) Well, that's not going to happen today. But I look forward to coming back here to try the Weller version next time.
