Iron Hill Bourbon Porter

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

Poured a dark brown color nitogen head. Aroma was very vanilla and bourbon. Flavor was bourbon chocolate/nutty. Served to cold, as it warm could taste the wood. Not a bad beer not the best.

Pretty beer, deep brown color, tan thick nitrogen generated head, very long lasting coating/lacing along the glass as the beer was consumed. The aroma was initially bourbon and vanilla over top of lightly roasted type malts that were hard to pick up under nitrogen. The flavor was initially not too overwhelming, but bourbon featured along with chocolate, molasses, and even some nuts. Mouhtfeel was not as dry as the regular porter and was slightly acidic and astringent. With increased temperature, the wood elements started to show up, but the bourbon took over along with some maple flavors, leaving much to be desired in this one, somewhat cloying and sickly, not easy to finish at that point. There are better base beers to bourbon age, and I didn't think this worked out too well.

Murky brown color with no head but more like some large bubbles. Taste is light chocolate milk with some mellow bitterness. Creamy smooth (think 2% milk chocolate).

Poured a hazy mahogany with tan bubbles as the head. Aroma of chocolate, fudge, vanilla, and roast. Taste was full of anise, chocolate, and ligt roasty whisky. Mouthfeel was terribly falt. On one hand I like that they obviously did not leave this in the barrel for too long, however the flatness really detracted from the experience.
