Bottle shared in London - cheers to Dave. Pours black-brown with a creamy, beige head. Medium to big sweet flavour, fudge, roast, raisins, toffee. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Very nice.

CBJ Tasting.Thanks to Wingman. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Airy palate and semi dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy dark chocolate, light but rich. Good fruity bourbon. Big coconut. Slightly boozy finish, and really, that's a good thing. Spiffin!

Draught@TCBW2023. Black colour, small foamy off-white head, which vanishes quite fast, but leaves some lace. Aroma is roasted malts, some plum, some figs, raisins, dates, chocolate and mild nutty tones to it. Flavour is chocolaty, some nutty, mild raisins, plum and some mild wooden and vanillaish tones with some dried fruits and raisins in the finish. Warms, but doesn't bomb you with alcohol.

On tap at the brewery. Pours near black with a slight dark brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of bread with a bit of chocolate and bourbon supporting. Flavor has a nice combination of bread and chocolate with an outstanding growing bourbon note.

2021 Bourbon. Dark brown. Not much head on this pour. Dark brown head. Big rich bourbon and dark sugar nose. Raisin, sticky toffee pudding, dark agave syrup, deep fruits. Fuuuuck. Big body, sweet af but not sticky or cloying, just exceptional richness on the malts and barrel. Layers of fruits and sugars, like snowy December in a glass.
