A big dark beer that yields a massive active head that fizzles down quickly leaving little to nothing in it's wake but a still dark brown liquid.
The nose is boozy from the moment the can is popped open. This cloak of strong booze yields to a dark fruit medley of black cherries, dark italian plums, and figgy pudding. As it warms up these sharper fruit flavors yield too leaving nothing but a lightly vanilla scented chocolate fudge aroma.
The taste comes on a little sharper with chocolate more prominent up front along with prunes, figs, and black currants. These are all undergirded by cigar, ash, and bourbon boozy vanilla bean. By the end the lightly vanilla tinted chocolate bar flavor is dominating
The mouthfeel is large but not too syrupy. This is a big damn beer and it doesn't hide that, but it's not sludge.
Really nice beer, crazy to think that we've come so far with this style in this country that a beer like this is just one among many when a decade ago this would have been mind blowing. A great example of a big BBA beer that doesn't follow the current pastry trend but provides tons of flavor and complexity.
