Bottle shared. Pours black with a ring beige head. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, fudge, caramel, chocolate, malt, light coffee and spicy peppery notes. Flavour is light heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Light full bodied with a slightly thick mouthfeel, alcohol warmth and soft carbonation.

Sampled from bottle (2013 vintage) shared by Countbeer. Thanks Kamiel! Opaque pitch black color, medium sized dark brown colored head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is malts, bourbon, a hint of sweetness, slightly a hint of coffee. Taste malts, dark fruits, dark malts, lightly roast, softly bitter and the slightest hint of liquorice. Medium body and carbonation.
