S'more Tuesday
Sampled at Black Tuesday release party, session 2. Review from notes. A: 2 to 3 oz pour (had more than 1) served in a small tasting flute glass. The beer is black an oily, with dark wood hue along the edges, with no real discernable head, or carbonation, though the beer coats the glass like milk. S: In short, I would wear this if it were a cologne, as I could smell this all day. Marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, some light oak & leather hide notes as well. Some heat burn in the nose, but in a pleasant way. T: Decadent, but balanced. All the layered flavor are present, notes of graham crackers, bourbon, vanilla, rich chocolate, oak, and roasted malts. Like a liquid smore with some smooth bourbon in it. The flavors are both easily picked out, but also not overwhelming. M: Heavy mouth feel & velvety viscosity, even though it's right out of the firkin & essentially flat. Temperature was just right. O: Very good. Lots of balance, as all the flavors can be picked out, and yet none are overbearing. It also really does taste like a smore, no missing the distinction. Tastes Like a real smore by the campfire, if this were bottled, I'd have a real smore along with it.
