I couldn’t wait any longer and after nearly 48 hrs of sitting collecting dust in my “celllar” I had to crack one of these open. Lovely rich chocolaty aroma, lots or roasted, notes and a little coffee and burnt marshmallows.
The Bourbon aroma and flavor is nicely interlaced with the rest of the big up front stout characteristics. I sipped this from a snifter for a couple hours while I updated my contacts on my new iPhone and discussed basic macro economics with my 12 yr old.
As I sip this lovely smooth full Stout, I am at the same time describing and explaining at a reasonable level, the tough desicions of taxing people and businesses and at the same time encouraging growth and the counter-intuitive ideal that to increase revenue, you can’t tax business into relocating from your area, in an effort to raise funds.
Things like that.
Even if I steered her in a totally wrong direction…this beer was still divine. I would like to grab a few more and see how they do, sitting for a year or two.
