Town Hall Project 3106

Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery Project 3106. 9.2% ABV. IBU: ?
Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery, Minneapolis, MN. 

This is a beer that's been released every year for the past five. I've taken home a growler home only once, but those notes never ended up here on the Nib. So, here we go, again, for the first time. Into the glass, from the growler, it goes...

Dark brown coloring, slim whitish head, looking fine. 

In the nose: sweet, creamy, fruity, chocolate-y. Mmm. Bourbon barrel, vanilla, cherry...not sure about kumquats. Where do they come in? Interesting. 

In the mouth: Full bodied, powerfully strong, flush with fruit flavors and chocolate. Dense, rich, malty and delicious. So nice. Big time flavors, big time depth. More and more flavors, maple, molasses, dark fruits. Fig and raisin? Port wine? It's a damned interesting mix, it is. And I can dig it.

Strong Belgian-style Bruin (brown ale) with Belgian dark chocolate & kumquats aged in bourbon barrels.
