Among the finest Belle Meade releases I've ever sampled. A flawless blend of the pleasant low barrel proof of the Bourbon with the essence of stout beer. Neither element dominates, and complex flavors of caramel, chocolate, and oak spice are present. Medium to long finish with a nice warmth. Practically no ethanol burn.
