Bottled. Deep brown colour with a mediumsize beige head. Aroma is alcohol, some wood, vanilla, roast and dried fruits. Flavour is bourbon, vanilla, chocolaty, some mild peated tones with some alcohol, dried fruits and figs to it as well. Surprisingly easy to drink, even though this is a rather big boy.

2015 bomber poured, shared by Tcon. Thanks! Dark and dense jet black appearance. Quick fading head. Layered aroma of oak, bourbon, vanilla, and honey. Flavor is equally as complex with all the same notes and more. Shared with some soft milk chocolate, and bran like malts. Smooth taste, very easy drinking imperial. Very happy with how this one has clearly matured. Excellent BA stout.

(Bottle) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with sweet espresso, cacao, dark chocolate, liquorice, treacle, black bread, vanilla, bourbon and wood. Malty, roasted taste with notes of sweet espresso, sweet liquorice, bourbon, vanilla, treacle, dark chocolate, oak wood and a balanced coffee bitterness in the finish. Full body, quite sweet. Strong and fairly sweet stout with a generous bourbon character (my favourite bourbon as well). Great stuff.

Bottle at tasting. 2/2015 says label. Forgot to note the color of the wax, says 11,9%. Poured pitch black with a thin brown head. Honey sweetness, honeycomb , roastedness and some cocoa. Smooth full bodied, good stuff. Balanced, heavy but still manages to be drinkable.
