I had a craving for a stout or porter today and was going to grab my stout when I found this and am I glad I did.
After I opened it, I didn't hear much of a hiss and was concerned it wasn't carbed enough (though I like my stouts lightly carbed) but it was perfect (in my excitement, I poured to fast and it gave me too much head). I didn't get much of an aroma and was expecting a slight bourbon aroma. I did get a small amount of caramel aroma though.
The flavor was outstanding! The bourbon was just the right amount to enjoy but not too much to take away from the porter. It was very balanced and the bourbon flavor added some warmth but not the same way as an alcohol warmth.
As usual, I left some warm up a bit and the bourbon was a bit more up front.
This was a great beer and would be the perfect after dinner or desert beer. Roger, thanks for sharing this although it took me so long to find it and review it. You should enter this into a competition!
