330ml bottle. Pours black. Bourbon, vanilla, oak, chocolate, maple syrup, coconut, overwhelmingly bourbon flavours, bit of stale toast. Thin. Not great.

Bottle. Black with fat coat of tan head. Aroma of caramel and vanilla syrupy bourbon, with firmish roast, some chocolate and a suggestion of blackcurrant (perhaps surprisingly) holding their own. And that follows into the palate and taste: the Bourbon influence is there but not allowed to stomp all over the stout. Lightish bodied and not all that sweet with a little roast and mocha before drying out a little with bitterness that's just enough to provide a finish. Clever.
