Smooth, creamy, nutty, chocolatey, bourbon-y, heavy body, but can certainly taste the high test alcohol. :)

Excellent mouthfeel--most BBA stouts never come close to this level of viscosity. Consumed 6 months after release and it's already showing more coffee/chocolate. Excellent.

Fantastic despite InBev. Wine-like whiskey on the nose. Taste is the usual boozy coffee chocolate bourbon barrel-softened stout. Complex and long-lasting as always.
