A very good beer that is very complex but yet very smooth for a bourbon barrel beer

Dark reddish brown. Coffee dominates aroma, subtle chocolate and vanilla. Coffee, creamy, boozy as it warms.

Super rich and potent blend of chocolate, vanilla and coffee in a warming 11.1% bourbon barrel finish. Not surprisingly, another inventive and complex dark ale from Founders.

Reminder of Frangelic Mountain Brown, but with some vanilla hints and a little stronger alcoholic aftertaste…

Well balanced vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and subtle barrel aging. Medium viscosity. Faint carbonation. Not all that boozy considering the ABV.

Nice dark malty brew with a slight sweetness. Also the bourbon booziness is nice. Only thing that was surprising is it has a pretty thin mouthfeel.

This is absurdly smooth, and roasty. The barrel aging also imparts some Woody flavors. Chocolate and vanilla isn't that present but bitter, roasted coffee is. Not bad.
