Pours rich, and thick, and this is BOURBON! above all, but what makes this beer work is that despite the BOURBON! and the clear, rich coconut flavor, this manages not to be cloyingly sweet, or even sweet as a first impression. That's a really delicate thing to accomplish. This was a really, really good beer, you guys.
Very dark, almost stout-like. Smooth and strong; flavor has some of the toffee-caramel you'd expect from a Wee Heavy. Although the flavor transitions aren't quite as silky smooth as the very best in class, it's still quite delicious.
Medium-tart with a dry-ish berry flavor offset by sweet wheat cereal notes. There's a bit of a musty, corianderish prelude to the sweet finish, and a decent hint of salt as well. Quite good, although it did definitely pale in comparison to the Firestone.
Lightly hoppy blonde with a creamy cereal finish. Light but definitely not watery. Maybe not super-memorable, but it went well with Thanksgiving dinner.
