Draught. Opaque black liquid with minimal tan head. Aroma of licorice, bourbon, chocolate, wood, sweet alcohol and toffee. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with notes of bourbon, licorice, light ash, wood and vanilla. Full bodied with low carbonation. Really heavy, but nice.

Sample at SBWF 2015. Black with a small tan head. Aroma of licorice, oak and dark fruit. Similar taste. Also warming alcohol, wood and cocoa. Sweet and with a full body. The aftertaste was long.

Keg at SBWF. Very black, small beige head. Pears, vanilla and licorice up front. Sweet with full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Vanilla, cocoa powder, peppery bourbon and licorice. Sugar and coffee. Warming finish. Soft and intriguingly flavourful. A bit too sweet for me.
