500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has subtle marshmallow-y coffee, light earthiness, and light toasted malt. Flavour is fairly watery and light, with boozy bourbon barrels, earthy coffee, clight toasted malt. Not much malt depth, fairly boozy bourbon barrels, balanced reasonably. Good, but not the most complex BA impie.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Very dark brown with minimal beige head. Muted coffee with a very feint hint of green pepper, thin-medium body, slightly above average.

500mL bottle. Pours nearly black with a small beige head. Coffee, dark sugars, and bourbon on the nose. Flavour has some burnt sugars, dark bread, coffee, bourbon barrels. A bit boozy on the finish. Not the deepest character, but decent.
