I am drinking the last variation of Moustache I have, this time Barrel Aged Rocky Road. I opted for a tulip glass, and the serving temperature is 50 degrees. The pour created a creamy, dark tan one-fingered head with average retention. The color is pitch black with dark rusty mahogany hues, opaque, and charts at an SRM 34. The appearance of the beer is average for this style.
Nosing the beer, I noticed milk chocolate, mixed with dark chocolate, coffee, dark roasted malts, marshmallows, bourbon, orange, wood, char, nuttiness, malty sweetness, molasses, raisins, and vanilla. The additional adjuncts are more noticeable; however, the chocolate still dominates the aromas.
The first sip reveals a dark chocolate with a mix of milk, and the chocolate is of higher quality than Hershey's. Sipping the glass, I can taste light char, caramel, bourbon, marshmallows, wood, earthiness, nuttiness, molasses, raisins, toasted sugar, malty sweetness, dark roasted malts, toasted bread, and vanilla.
The mouthfeel is thick and chewy, finishing with a creamy, smooth texture and no heat. The body is medium-plus and has a low amount of carbonation.
Final Thought: Out of the four that I have tried, this one is my favorite. It has a higher ABV, but does not show any heat. The beer is creamy and smooth, tasting like an adult liquid chocolate rocky road drink. I had hoped that the others with high ABV could mask the flavors more, but it did not happen. Considering this beer is almost four years old, I think that the heat would have tempered. It was a long day, but it had a fantastic finish.
