From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is potent Bourbon with vanilla, oak, roasted malt, chocolate, and fruity notes. Full body. Sweet flavour with a mild roasty bitterness. Started out a bit tartish but other flavours took over down the road. Overall very lovely Bourbon BA Stout.

Tasting at Chez Cloin. Thanks to LKS. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, a little dark chocolate malt cream and dark chocolate fudge. Mild spice in the mid. Modest ripe fruits go well with the dark malts. Smooth milky bar finish. Very pleasant.

Bottle. Pours opaque black, medium tan head, dissipated fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is cocoa, lots of cinnamon, hints of chili pepper, coffee grounds, baking cocoa, mocha. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter. Coffee perhaps a bit stale, but the rest is spot on.
