Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for So Happens It's Tuesday
◎ Appearance
Deep mahogany to near-black in the glass, with a light transparency at the edges revealing the beer's true darkness. The head is modest but persistent, leaving fine lacing on the side of the glass. Carbonation appears restrained, appropriate to the style's full-bodied character.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with dark chocolate and toasted malt notes, creating a warm, inviting entry. Beneath lies vanilla from barrel aging, complemented by oak and hints of bourbon warmth. The aromatic profile speaks to careful balance between the roasted grain foundation and wood influence.
◐ Taste
Dark fruits—fig and cherry—emerge on the palate alongside caramel and molasses sweetness, grounding the beer's complexity. The bourbon barrel adds oak character and a gentle warming note that builds through the middle. Roasted, full-bodied malt carries throughout, while 65 IBUs provide measured bitterness without overwhelming the stone fruit and caramel interplay.
◑ Finish
The finish is long and smooth, with lingering dark fruit, chocolate, and a whisper of oak. Warmth from the elevated alcohol (13.7% ABV) fades gracefully, leaving a dry, roasted aftertaste.
