Poured from the little 375 into a Golden Monkey snifter. Not surprisingly, this one was dead flat, with not even a bubble tickling the surface. A deep, empty, black void through which light did not penetrate. Very boozy on the nose, with huge bourbon dominating the roasted malt, dark fruits and chocolate that poke through. More bourbon on the palate, along with chocolate malt, roast, plums, figs, coffee, oak and vanilla. Very sweet and cloying, especially with the total absence of carbonation, which would have helped greatly with the drinkability. Even without the carbonation, this is a very good beer.
