650ml bottle from Beer Republic. Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Aroma of roasty malts, coffee, cinnamon, spices, bourbon, wood, oak, rum and vanilla. Taste is smooth, slightly roasty and sweetish with some cocoa, coffee, chocolate, oak, wood, rum, bourbon, spices and cinnamon. Finish is spicy, roasty and bourbony with some wood, oak and rum notes. Quite complex and well balanced slow sipper.

Dark brown pour with a tall, fine-grained, beige head with good retention. Notes of roasted malts, licorice, cocoa, cinnamon, peppers, mild bourbon (sweet, with notes of vanilla but no sharp alcohol or barrel) followed by mild spiced rum, bitter cherries, dark chocolate. A very nice imperial porter, nicely balanced towards choclate and roasted malts, without the barrels overwhelming it. Nice warming finish.

22 oz. bottle. Aroma is cocoa, mild cinnamon, mild roast. Flavor is nice, good amount of chocolate, mild roasted backbone, cinnamon in the finish. Thankfully I get no Cayanne in the nose or flavor. Even the cinnamon is subdued. Alcohol is lightly present in the finish. Warming sensation after the sip. Nice brew!

Sampled from the tap at Happy Gnome. Pours near black with a brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has a good amount of dark grains roasted malts and rum with dark chocolate and a bit of heat backing. Flavor has sweet dark grains and roasted malts with notes of rum, chocolate and heat underlying.
