SBP has an understated
aroma with a roasted malt spine, fleshed out with notes of figs. For
flavour, there is a complicated blend of bitter molasses, dark fruit,
and tobacco, warmed by every drop of that 9% booze.
When
I started my review brew, it was refrigerator cold and already complex,
but as I sipped, the flavour gained layers at an interest rate that
approached criminal. This is a beer to savour--not one that should be
rushed. I paired it with an after dinner bourbon on the rocks and a
quarter of NBA basketball, and it left me hella mellow and peaceful. A
strong beer that speaks softly. Highly recommended.
Rating: 9.5 out of 10.
