This beer just hit the stores and our best friend couldn't stop talking about it and insisting that we try it. So I went out today and grabbed one, and I must say that this beer is very good. Not the best bourbon aged Stout I have had, but still pretty good. The bourbon flavor is nice and relevant but not so in your face that you forget you are drinking beer. The part that I don't love about this beer is the very strong malt chocolate flavor that I taste. I don't usually mind a chocolate flavor, but I wasn't super happy with these two flavors together. I think that Abita is working hard on becoming a very reputable craft beer company. I feel big websites like rate my beer and beer advocate give this a hard time, but I think this beer is a really promising start to making some incredible beers. The smell is nice and whisky like, with a melted chocolate flavor infused in it. The smell and color of this beer go together very well. It had a deep smell that reminds me of an after dinner coffee, but then it hits you with a truly beer flavor. Abita has done a great job on this beer and I look forward to the rest of the products they put out in the future. Drink local!
