Deschutes: Black Butte XX

This is a thick beer! It had been in the fridge for a while now so it was cold. Poured thick, little carbonation. Reminescent of their standard Black Butte but with a much higher, pronounced, biting, alcohol presence and thick body. They boast of coffee bean and bourbon barrels, both of which are mixed deep in its syrap consistency but neither are over dominant. At $10/bottle I would prefer an imperial porter over this but this is a decent beer none-the-less. I enjoyed it and appreciated the complex flavors. Make your friend buy one and then snag a glass!
