In an age of too much imperial everything in craft beers, I think it best to say what this beer is not.
It is not too bitter.
It is not too smoky.
It is not too high in alcohol. (a relatively modest 6.9% abv)
It doesn't taste like bourbon.
For me, the first three are a good thing. The fourth is an issue. This stout has been aged in Wild Turkey barrels for 3 months and if it didn't say so on the label, you would never know. Disappointing.
That doesn't mean that it tastes bad. I enjoyed it, it just wasn't special.
