Bottle shared on the RBSG bus. Dark brown pour with a moderate tan head. Heavy aroma of bourbon barrel sweetness and roast. Tastes pretty sweet with plenty of roast. Vanilla is minimal, but quite a bit of barrel influence. Sorta hot.

Bottle on RBSG Bus from Ron. Dark brown pour small but tight beige head. Robust aroma of roast malts with some vanilla. Mild boozy character, more of the dark malts, but kind of finishes fast.

Bottle from Safeway. It pours a dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma has walnut brownies with a touch of vanilla and alcohol. The flavor is a little soda-like with hints of bourbon, vanilla, smores and brownie. The body is a bit lacking and doesn’t do a very good job supporting all the flavors. I wish it was a bit richer with more chocolate rather than soda. Not bad though.

Bottle from Biernavigatie, large sample. Dark color, short frothy head. Aroma of roasted malts, milk chocolate, cookie, some vanilla, slight bourbon. Lots of vanilla sweetness in taste, chocolate, cookie, some bourbon. Felt a bit unbalanced as the aroma and the taste show some different characteristics, but overall I quite enjoyed it.

Bottle at THT thanks to MariusPoenari. Dark brown with very short lasting beige head. Very flowery, vanilla, strong bourbon, perfume, lots of vanilla actually, raw cocoa beans, light coffee, weird chemical vanilla like esters, leather, beaver glands. Over medium sweet and very light bitter. Medium bodied with slick feel and soft carbonation. I don’t really like it a lot but it’s very interesting.
