Heresy
12 oz bottle into a pint glass A- pours pitch black with a velvety mocha colored head. No lacing to speak of. When held up to the light it is pure black, no ruby or garnet highlights. This beer would be a heretic... S- Complex aromas from this one. At first is a hint of bourbon/oak, some smokiness, alcohol and some cocoa. Lovely combination. T- The smokiness and oak characters are up close and personal on each sip. But more and more sips reveal some toffee and chocolate flavors. Alcohol burn is there, too. M- Creamy at first, but then the alcohol burn diffuses the smooth creaminess. D- I'd call this a sipper- which is good because the warmer it gets, the more flavors jump out.
