Dark brown color and darker than the original.
Great smell. Strong bourbon notes mix well with rye and mutes it a little bit. Slight vanilla note to it. Coffee note is a bit stronger but the chocolate seems to be lost. Weaker hop note.
Taste is same as the smell. Hop is still noticeable but not super strong. Much more stronger bourbon note.
Feel is smoother and slicker. Less carbonation and more like a porter
Overall, better than the original. Not as intense. Go for it.

BB Black Ox on tap at Old Ox.
Much better than the base beer, the BB and Little she making this a very good beer.
Look: very dark, almost black. Small creamy head. Nice lacing.
Smell: sweet, roasty, malt, slight chocolaty note.
Taste: this is where is stands out. Just enough time in the barrel to capture the vanilla notes. Much less bitterness than the base beer.
Feel: very smooth, creamy. Would like it to be just a little heavier than it is, but we'll done. Not top much alcohol flavor. Excellent over all.
This is a very nice bb porter from a new brewery, well done!
