Beta Wave
Westfax Brewing Company

Pours out opaque and viscous; initial thin, khaki colored head that soon fades to a wispy, somewhat thin yet thick ring of foam inside the glass; fat carbonation bubbles percolate up through the dark depths. Bold aroma; dark roasted grains; chocolate; oak. Fantastic flavor; rich milk chocolate and fudge notes; rock-solid underpinning of bourbon beneath the sweetness. Deep, oily, thick mouthfeel; sticky.

While the appearance is mediocre, the beer more than makes up for things with its incredibly dense and rich aroma and taste plus a chewy, slippery mouthfeel. Bold and complex with a fine boozy element.
