12oz bottle at home. Vintage 2017. black color, small coffee colored head. smells bourbon, vanilla, light minty, toffee, cocoa, some bitter chocolate, nutty, peanuts, almonds, lovely smell, super balanced. full body, no carbonation. tastes of bourbon, vanilla, spices, nutty, some cocoa, bitter chocolate, tad boozy, light sherry and soy sauce. finishes lightly boozy with notes of bourbon, sherry and some soy sauce. very nice one, super smooth and easy to drink, some oxidation notes, but these are not a distraction.

Wow. Thick, rich and flavorful. Very creamy. Lots of bourbon, nicely warming and boozy, and underneath a very thick stout full of chocolate. Excellent balance between the two, amazing taste. Yup, this works.
