Look: It pours dark brown with a brown head. Head retention is low.
Smell: There are chocolate and roast aroma. In addition, there are bourbon notes and cherry.
Taste: It has strong chocolate flavors with bourbon and roast. There are also hints of cocoa.
Feel: It has a thick, somewhat chewy body.
Overall, there aren't a lot of flavors, but the beer is bold and quite good.

Pours a rich, dark brown with over a finger of dark mocha head that quickly settles into a soupy cap and leaves sloppy lacing.
Red wine, plum, vanilla, amaretto, coconut and bourbon all show in the nose, sort of like a BBA and Cabernet-barrel aged cuvée, or possibly even a stout-quad blend.
The taste is more traditional stout. Roasty malts dominate, with just shy of a peanut character, and a little chocolate, red wine and plum far behind. Plenty of warming alcohol rounds out a fairly dry finish.
Thinner bodied than expected, but still very chewy feeling. Fairly strong carbonation.
Nice fruity flavors up front in this, coupled with a relatively dry finish, makes for a somewhat unique BBA stout experience. Fun sipper.
