On tap at Ambulance Brew House, vintage bourbon-barreled strong ale (circa 2014) combines brewers’ Scarface Imperial Stout with Old Godfather Barleywine and less dominant elixirs. Mild bourbon overlay secures bittersweet black chocolate territory. Ancillary vanilla, cocoa, molasses and cookie dough illusions sweeten the mocha-laden front end while its coffee-stained hop char deepens the bitter backdrop. Bruised black cherry, blackberry, blueberry and brambleberry fruiting finds tertiary space.
