Multiple depths of flavor. Subtle bourbon flavor followed by caramel and vanilla. Slightly creamy mouth feel. Deep mahogany color.

On tap at Speakeasy Ales & Lagers tap room
A: Pours deep mahogany brown with a creamy tan head that settles and laces lightly.
S: Roasted malt, toffee sweetness, bourbon, and vanilla.
T: Smooth bourbon, vanilla, roasted malt, brown sugar, dark caramel toffee sweetness, and a light kinda smokiness on the finish.
M: Medium to full body, moderate carbonation.
O: According to the bartender this was a barrel aged blend and sadly, it probably won't be seen again. Too bad. This was outstanding, one of the best beers I've had.
