Bottle: 0497

A: Straight black pour, like motor oil, with a small very brown head. No lacing or retention. If it had better lacing or retention it would be a 5. 4

T: The smell is all booze and whiskey, some chocolate underneath. 3.5

T: The taste on this is the best part. Great blend of chocolate, roastiness, booze, whiskey, oak and vanilla from the barrel. Alcohol and roastiness on the back. Balance is perfect as it warms. 4.5

MF: Thick and heavy, a little under carbonated, but not as much as BA Old Ruffian. Dry finish and boozy. 4

O: I Really enjoyed this. I was worried after having BA Old Ruffian earlier and it was way passed it’s prime. This was tasty, full of stout and whiskey. Very much enjoyed. 4.5
