Description:

A soft sweet whiskey/bourban like aromas.. A nice full body that doesn't fall apart in your mouth but also not so thick that it is creamy and filling. The whiskey flavor becomes more aparent as it reaches higher temps. Light chocolate flavor becomes aparent near the end as beer warms in mouth. It also has a pleasant spice to accompany the chocolate that is mellow. Seems to be at its best once it reaches 50+ degrees Fahrenheit. At first glance the beer appears dark amber, but when it hits the light at the right angle it has a nice transparent blood red. This would be ideal for accompaning a dinner plate. Not sure what though.
