Bit of a sharp porter with sweet booze throughout. This beer doesn't hide any of its significant strength. It's a bit angular, but very enjoyable.

Huge, sweet bourbon fragrance, thin body, with lots of stuff going on flavor-wise: a kind of tangy dried fruit essence, chocolate, molasses, caramel. It wasn't as fully integrated as the most top-flight representatives of this style, but a nice, STRONG, and tasty beer, without being too heavy.

Sweet and sour raisin coconut smell. Taste goes the direction of being sweet, transitions to bourbon barrel sharpness, and then back to prune-like with a sweet-cocoa finish.
