Pour is a black with a very minor tan head. Aroma is all whiskey. Alcohol hot with a big char and some vanilla. Flavor is about the same. Bit whiskey with a ton of oak. Some chocolate and vanilla follow. Big flavor and bigger booze. The cardboard box this came in was unnecessary and only added to the cost.

22oz bottle from 2017 RIS tasting. Another normal looking pour, with a nice gem lurking inside. Big, boozy aroma, some sweet vanilla , some coffee and roast grains. Taste is boozy up front, with e sweet roasty goodness following. Nice finish.

Bottle at the 10th Boise Imperial Stout Tasting. Pours black with a modest dark brown head. Heavy aroma is boozy and full of the barrel treatment. Deep roast and char in the taste, some vanilla and bourbon barrel sweetness along with the pit fruit.

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark brown with a slight tan head. Aromas of chocolate, oak, bourbon, darkish fruit. Med ++ body. A heat bite. Flavor of anise, chocolate, oak, bourbon, and arguably dark treacle and darkish fruits. A bit off the beaten path, but quite tasty.

Bomber from Tavour. Nose is vanilla, chocolate, bourbon, and raisins. Black with a very small cinnamon tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet, lightly bitter, vanilla, chocolate, and light amounts of bourbon. Very nice!
