Bright flowery/citrus hop aroma. Clean taste of hops with a kind of bitterness that doesn’t have an edge to it. Overall smooth on the palate, but with lots of hop flavor. Minor hop bitterness in the aftertaste, even if the mouthfeel still is soft. Interesting combination that’s both sessionable and bitter at the same time.
Clean aroma of slightly sweet dark malt. Full malt flavor spreads out across the palate, then finishes somewhat dry, with a clean lingering dark malt taste.
Dark stout aroma. Slightly crisp flavor bite with a hint of the alcohol. Mainly tastes like a heavy stout, with hints of peanuts. Fades into an aftertaste that is a mix of dark malt roastiness and peanut flavor. Overall finishes fairly dry/clean.
Aroma of slight caramel malt, maybe some hop or yeast sweetness. Taste is even across the palate and had a balanced malt taste that gives way to a smooth hop flavor. Aftertaste has a slight lingering bitterness.
Typical slightly sweet caramel malt aroma. Initial taste has a very slight twang, that fades and is replaced by a mix of malt and yeast sweetness. Finishes cleanly with just a mild caramel malt flavor in the background.
Sweet, mild aroma of some hops and caramel malt. Slight edge of hops on first taste, but quickly overtaken but a smooth caramel malt flavor. Goes down fairly smoothly, almost slick-like, with a kick of hop bitterness at the very end.
Aroma is resiny thick. First drink has a slight crispness of hop bite to it, followed by a caramel malt flavor that’s not too sweet, and a little dark tasting. Aftertaste liners with expressive malt flavors and edge of hop bitterness.
Bottle marked that it was brewed in Virginia brewery on 4/8/21, enjoy by 8/6/21. This review done on 7/8/21.
Sweet aroma of hops and yeast. Taste is smooth and sweet, with a hint of dark malt flavor. Aftertaste is mix of dark malt and yeast sweetness, with a hint of fruity hops way in the background.
Date on bottom of can is 9/22/20, drinking on 4/10/2021, so it’s a bit past prime. Maybe fresher would have more hop presence.
Their normal bourbon barrel aged Stout, with peanut butter, cocoa nibs, & “natural flavors”. Bottled 1/27/2021, drank on 4/6/2021.
Bourbon smell masked behind blocking wall of peanut butter and cocoa. Very smooth taste of cocoa, slight peanut butter, and then bourbon barrel Stout on the back end.
4 out of 5 stars.
