One of my favorite limited beers from the last few years has been the Bourbon Barrel Hellfighter from Houston's
Karbach Brewing. Each year, the brewery does a subtle variation on this imperial porter, and each year, i tend to love it. Living in Austin, they can also be kind of hard to come by. They sell out around town pretty quickly, and then they're gone. I was fortunate enough to snag two bombers this year, the variation this time around being the addition of chocolate. It's delicious. The full bodied brew pours a dark black with a good tannish head and smells of coffee, chocolate, and the always lovely bourbon. The flavor is rich, swirls of chocolate, alcohol, coffee, and malt mixing wonderfully in an 11% ABV dream. It looks like the Jaguar Shark i'm saving for next year has a buddy now.
