The pour is black, like Sumi ink black and there are no highlights when backlit. The very dark brown carbonation (I can’t call it a head because there wasn’t one) swirls promisingly but ends up dissipating before I finish pouring. Hmmm.
The taste leads with bourbon, charred chocolate comes into play, very dark bread, almost burnt. Coffee is mild. There are some dark fruit but it’s stewed and jam like. Then the bourbon kicks back in and beats up the other flavors.
That said, normally BBA stouts are pretty sweet and this one is still sweet but the rye from the Reaper provides an edge wrapped in molasses.
The feel matches the appearance; this is thicccc.. Beyond viscous, darned near syrupy.
OA, it’s very good, and though it pains me to say it, probably best in less than 500ml servings. It’s intense.
