Santa's Little Helper - Bourbon Barrel Aged
Bottle poured into tulip Appearance- Thick and dark with minimal brown head Smell - Roasty malts, chocolate and booze, it does not smell as over the top boozy as the 2009, but still smells quite hot. Taste - Chocolate malts up front with a kick of bourbon, but nowhere near the kick of last year's batch. Finishes with some earthy dark fruits and a very dark chocolaty aftertaste. Mouth- Thick with adequate carbonation for something this boozy Drink- Overall decent drink, but still really boozy. This one could definitely use some time. Overall a major improvement from last year's batch but could still be a little bit less hot.
