375ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with minimal brown head. Aroma of bourbon, oak, coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice. Taste is very rich, sweet, prominent bourbon and oak, coffee, liquorice, dark chocolate, dried fruits, the coconut is there too, had to look for it, boozy alcohol notes. Full bodied, smooth.
Wow, what an incredible beer. And 72 months (6 years) in the barrel is one of the longest ageing periods I've seen.
