Oliphant Boodoir Barrel-aged Doppelbock

Oliphant Boodoir Barrel-aged Doppelbock. 9% ABV. Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

Dark, black, obsidian, beautiful brown head.

In the nose: Big ol' whiskey. Cocoa, molasses, vanilla. Charcoal. Deep. Wonderfully inviting.

In the mouth: Bourbon coats the scene, covers the palate, grips the senses. Strong. Slick. Suggestive. Super duper. Sweet and delicious. The doppelbock below is fairly covered over by all the bourbon barrel action, but I don't mind a bit. I can feel it's tracings, just a smudge.

It's a decadent treat that can't be beat, and it's just what I need right now.
