One of my lowest ABV stouts in the cellar so I figured a 750 by myself isn\u2019t too bad. Enjoyed at 60F in my HFS glass.A &#8211; Poured a midnight viscous black. a 1 finger coffee head was produced and faded to just a thin line of creamy bubbles.<\/p>\n<p>S &#8211; The nose is pretty weak. I get some hints of vanilla and smoke. There\u2019s a slight bourbon character but mostly, it smells more like a porter than a stout. Very weak nose.<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Up front, roasted dark malts, chocolate and booze. The middle is a thick oak and bourbon rush. Finish is all coffee with hints of licorice and pepper.<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Heavy body but light carbonation. Sort of creamy like frothed milk.<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; Maybe this beer has started to fall off? Hard to tell. It\u2019s great. Not nearly a year old yet but it just doesn\u2019t have that oomph I expected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Squatters Barrel of Russians' on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/8103710622\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8193\/8103710622_0354663269_z.jpg?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Squatters Barrel of Russians\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View 'Squatters Barrel of Russians' on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/8103708708\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8043\/8103708708_caaf2491d1_z.jpg?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Squatters Barrel of Russians\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp; 3.2 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AROMA\u00a05\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0APPEARANCE\u00a05\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0TASTE\u00a06\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0PALATE\u00a05\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0OVERALL\u00a011\/20 adamjackson\u00a0(764)\u00a0&#8211; Canaan, New Hampshire, USA &#8211; OCT 18, 2012 Acquired in a trade a while&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-12-07T16:44:19Z","apple_news_api_id":"6af98f86-0351-40a6-b7c5-79d48d35939a","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-12-07T16:44:22Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AavmPhgNRQKa3xXnUjTWTmg","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-reviews","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-eQ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7810,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/08\/07\/review-night-shift-el-lechedor-bourbon-apple-brandy-barrel-aged\/","url_meta":{"origin":920,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Review: Night Shift El Lechedor &#8211; Bourbon &#038; Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"August 7, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Sorry for the lazy review today.
