Our Baltic porter spent time in two separate Old Forester 1910 barrels before being blended together to create a chocolate forward beverage with notes of oak and dark fruits.

Bottled on: ?????
A - Black pour with a dense, soapy, toffee colored lacing ring and ALOT of legs / viscosity on the sides of the glass.
S - Toasted cocoa with a very faint shot of Bourbon (very faint).
T - Toasted cocoa, Bourbon, some oak barrel, oak tannin, vanilla, and ends on the boozier side with some residual toasted cocoa, light bitterness, and followed with more Bourbon presence.
M - Viscous and oily with some pronounced warming in the throat.
O - This is really a fantastic beer and so glad for this find! (Unfortunately the new BA rating scale grossly undermines the overall score based on the number of reviews. Sad.)

Poured into a La Fin du Monde tulip
My first non-IPA offering from Heist, I believe..
P deep mahogany/black w/ a small foamy tan head; no lace
N med-bold nuttiness, booze, barrel, and a touch of dark fruit
T dark fruit and vanilla forward, with a smooth light roast, light nuttiness and barrel in the finish; light-med heat and a touch of tartness; grape-like/brandy aftertaste
Mf light-med bodied w/ med carb; could use a bit more body imo, but makes for good drinkability for the style
O different than anticipated, but not bad by any means; was hoping for a bolder profile and heftier mouthfeel, but it was made up for in drinkability; thanks again, J!
