On tap at Shepherd & Knucklehead, rich Belgian-styled strong ale aged in bourbon barrels brings sweet brown chocolate spicing to the fore above oats-sugared molasses sentiment and dark-fruited rum spicing. Casual bourbon nip picks up sherry, burgundy and whiskey reminders while ancillary vanilla, coconut and coffee undertones deepen mighty mocha richness.
