Can from Bhensonb. Nose is bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, and pepper. Black with a medium cinnamon tan head. Flavor is a lightly sweet chocolate oatmeal cookie dipped in a glass of bourbon rather than milk. Good stuff!

8.45 oz can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a very slight tan head. Aroma of whiskey, chocolate and toasted malt. Full bodied. Flavor has chocolate, whiskey and toasted malt - and a bit of heat. Whiskey seems to make it rather towards dry. Bitter is minimal - like from dark chocolate. Tasty sipper.

A totally black beer, a head is almost medium and nicely brown. Aroma is complex, liquorice, sweetness of dried fruits, raisin, roastiness, barrel, whiskey, salt liquorice, hint of nut and chocolate. Taste has increadible balance, liquorice, roastiness, dry barrel, low dried fruitness, balanced sweetness. Full bodied, velvety palate, not stickyness. I'm enjoyed this too quickly. Huge beer, the perfect balance, complexicity, velvety smoothness, but also powerful and charismatic.
