'14 vintage on tap at Carrie Furnaces in Pittsburgh, PA.
This one pours a deep dark black, with a small head, and no lacing.
Smells like bourbon soaked cookie dough, chocolate fudge, roasted malt, and a small hint of oak.
This has a nicely well integrated barrel character- I'm guessing the few years of aging helped out. It's got a smooth bourbon taste, some cookie dough and vanilla, a hint of wood and oak, and a still nicely present level of roasted malt.
This is medium bodied, could be a little chewier, but it's still thick enough.
This was another of my favorites at the festival. Good stuff for sure.
