This afternoon's beer:
Opens with a surge of smooth dark coffee, with thick backing slabs of vanilla and caramel on a foundation of dark bread. Cinnamon and cloves and other baking spices flash past, with flickers of peat and earth and smoke. Tilts slightly toward dry at the finish.
Thick, dense, chewy, a bit slick and oily. Moderately well-carbonated, which breaks the lingering syrupy stickiness free, eventually. Gradually a little bit drying, and shockingly close to refreshing. Alarmingly little (as in no, none at all) alcohol presence.
A bit slab of a coffee stout, with distinct bourbon character around the edges. Massively intense and amazingly complex; astonishingly close to balanced—poised and graceful—and seriously drinkable. I've had lots of good beers from Weyerbacher, and this another one, a wonderful substitute for a second cup fo coffee in the late morning/early afternoon.
