Dark Matter Heaven Hill Single Malt
Barreled Souls Brewing Company

Pours very dark brown so let's say dark black coffee color. About an inch of dense khaki foam that falls to an incredible ring which clings beautifully to the glass.

Lots going on with the smell. Fantastic bourbon floats over the roasty malts, dark fruits, a bit of char, wood, a little milk chocolate and coffee.

The initial taste I get is sweet - dark fruit and brown sugar - but that's quickly overlaid with a glorious bourbon flavor. Dates, raisins, prune. Dark, sweet bread. A little milk chocolate and a little hint of coffee. The oak comes on stronger with repeated sips giving a little phenolic tingle. I get some brighter fruit - seems like cherry. I think it's a trick in my mind but I'm picking up marshmallow or something close to it.

This one feels thick and a little syrupy. There's a bit of alcohol tingle and it's ridiculously warming.

Diggin' it. It's a slow sipper for sure. They called it a stout but I'm not sure I agree. It's like a mosh pit of stout, barleywine, and strong ale. Then again who am I to argue.
