On tap at everywhere, pours a clear dark mahogany with a tiny head. Aroma has super intense vanilla beans, decadent bourbon barrels, and brown sugar. Flavour is intense as hell, with huge bourbon barrels, decadent vanilla beans, and brown sugar. Super decadent, with deep malts, vanilla, and elegant barrel character. Excellent.

Bottle thanks to Chris. It pours oily darkest brown to black with limited head. The aroma is soft, oily, heavy vanilla, toffee, heady bourbon soaked oak, nut, praline, heady booze, rich chocolate gateaux, nutty and ferrero rocher. The taste is slick, oily, heady booze, bitter - sweet, chrewy, toothy, heavy vanilla, toffee, mars bar, truck load of bourbon, bourbon soaked oak, actually not too sweet, maltesers sticky and some tannin with a warming, slick mouth feel. Full body, fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. Very nice. Not too sweet.

Wow, that’s good stuff. Punchy but not over the top. Some toasted marshmallows, chocolate, dark berries, booze, nips of bourbon. Really solid.

Bottle at CBJ Tasting. Dark and glossy. No head. Aroma is full-on - dark dough and booze and burnt caramel. Flavourwise it's booze led. Then doughy dark malts and nuts. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation Long astringent finish.

Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to Wingman for the bottle. Near clear dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, modest carbonation. Smooth dark malts, a mellow creamy dark chocolate. Pleasant bourbon soaked ripe fruits. Rich. Spicy finish. A pleasant affair but, one of those BWs that is flirting with impy stout territory. Nice chocolate linger.
