2016 bomber from Wine Warehouse, $8.49. Pours deep amber, clear, dusting of a head. Aroma of chocolates and caramel, booze. Flavor is light at the beginning and really develops after swallowing. Vanilla, butterscotch, caramel, chocolate, booze. Heavy caramel in the immediate finish, followed by coconut and alcohol. It’s good, but I feel something is missing.

Amber red color. Smells good. Sweet, pine, caramel, vanilla and butterscotch. Hmmm. It’s interesting. Very sweet. Orange chocolate flavor like this sweet chocolate orange shape things. Good mouthfeel. Very full and thick. It’s incredibly way too sweet. Needs 2 years of age

Draught @ Malt & Mold. Clear dark amber with small foamy beige head, faint caramel aroma, low carbonation, bitter woodsy caramel taste with strong alcohol overtones, thin body, long bitter finish, alcohol aftertaste. The alcohol bite is too harsh.

Pours deep mahogany into a snifter. Tan head with good retention recedes leaving soapy lacing. Vanilla, oak and bourbon aromas. Thick with orange and pit fruit and caramel upfront turning to bourbon and drying oak before the lasting bitter finish.
