The Big Sleep - Bourbon Barrel Aged
Standard Brewing

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, oak, bourbon, mild cocoa. Flavor is dark toasted malt, woody oak, bourbon, light vanilla and a hint of cocoa. Lightly astringent wood finish. Medium bodied with light creaminess. A good bourbon barreled stout, but quite bourbon forward. The oak woodiness is clear in the aroma, taste and particularly the finish, which sets this aside from other BA stouts. Straightforward, a little hot, but flavorful.
