Eruption
Loowit Brewing Company

 

Poured into a Fremont small snifter. Pours a very dark mahogany brown, appearing opaque black in the glass with a thin brown head that dissipates to patches with light lacing. Aroma of dark toasted malt, milk chocolate, vanilla, caramel and a touch of bourbon. Flavor is dark toasted malt with moderate char, baking chocolate and a touch of vanilla. Medium bodied with light creaminess. Nice charry malt base with good chocolate notes. Mouth feel is thin for a barreled stout this size, but still full flavored. Not getting any bourbon character in the taste, although there was a bit in the aroma. Fine as a cacao nib aged beer, doesn't really need the bourbon.
