This year's batch rings in at 11%. I've found the flavor seems to be best as it warms up. Tasty and certainly recommended.

Poured from 22 oz bottle into snifter.
A: Pours a super dark brown with 1/2 inch dark mocha head with good retention. Mild lacing around the edges.
S: Sweet, thick bourbon, smooth dark chocolate, leather, sweet tobacco, vanilla, and hints of molasses, anise, and coffee. Wow!
T: Smooth dark chocolate hits first, quickly followed by the thick sweet bourbon note. Leather, mildly charred wood, sweet tobacco, and vanilla. Very, very nice.
M: Medium heavy body. Velvety and coating feel. Darkly sweet with mild (surprised it's not more at 11%) alcohol burn. Nice lingering and maturing on the palate.
D: A super solid brew...delivers on all fronts and perfectly balanced. Wonderfully crafted!
