There was some confusion about this beer (the text description said whiskey, the label graphic said rum). We kind of felt this tasted like rum, with molassessy and uncomplicated liquor with a very smooth, balanced roast stout underneath. Better than I remember the other Hoppin' Frog heavies being.
Very refreshing overall. Shows balanced roasted coffee flavors with very little bitterness and sweetness. Has a smooth texture too.
Bit of a sour smell, but the flavor is not at all. Light and sweet like coffee with a ton of creamer in it, just enough roast and no real bitterness. Drinkable and cheering.
Pours syrup thick and black, with strong whiffs of sweet booze. I like me some barrel-aged beers, but this was a little too sweet for me, like it was mixed with more than a little straight whiskey.
This one has a pretty marked banana smell. Also presents a rich onctuous chocolate banana flavor. Quite sweet and malty. Maybe a little bit too boozy. It's boozyness and sweetness would make it hard to drink more then a single glass though.
The lack of any carbonation prevented any sort of head. Aside from that it was a sweat stout with a strong chocolate flavor.
