Craig Durgy is drinking a Tough Love [BANISHED] 2015 by Crux Fermentation Project at The Brass Hat
Aroma of molasses & fermenting dark fruit. Tasting a cornucopia of malts and dark fruits. Boozy and ashy. Hints of tobacco and sweet vanilla. Aged gracefully! 4.34

Deep dark Kentucky burnt bourbon on the nose. Smooth and rich on the palette. With soft notes of dark chocolate and cherry ending on a sutle sweet vanilla bath. 4.35

I can’t believe how well this held up and that there are no adjuncts but plenty of cocoa, cherry and a bit of vanilla in the profile.

It's an ok stout, but the 8-ish years of aging have mellowed out most of the other flavors so you have some slight bourbon and that's it.
