Amber, some haze, and no head. But there is a bit of carbonation. The aroma is actually a bit on the hot/headsy side, with some dried fruit. The palate has more of that dried fruit character, a touch of vanilla, a bit of alcohol in the finish. This one actually doesn't connect with me as much as some of the previous ones have, maybe too hot.

22 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma is full of complex bourbon barrels, brown sugar, and toffee. Flavour is no less complex, with intense bourbon barrels, light smokiness, brown sugar, toffee, some vanillin, and dark dried fruits. Beautiful bourbon character, hiding that 16.5% in a scary way. Wonderful.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Clear copper with minimal white head. Very bourbon forward, base beer is mostly hidden by how bourbon forward this is (which is very nice), but the base seems a little bit thin with feint dark fruits. Caramelly bourbon showcase through and through, probably overpriced, but enjoyable nonetheless.

650mL bottle. Pours hazy amber with a white head. Tons of bourbon barrels, brown sugars, and bready malts on the nose. Flavour also has a ton of bourbon, lots of dried dark fruits, dark sugars; very boozy on the finish. I really like it, but the booziness is perhaps a bit too extreme.
