Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, bourbon, some vanilla, oak, coffee. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a little bitterness in the aftertaste. Smooth and potent. Lovely.

Draught @ Malt & Mold (3/12/20). Opaque dark brown with very small frothy dark beige head, very faint bourbon aroma, low carbonation, medium sweet mocha-bourbon taste, thin body, long boozy finish. Smooth but boozy.
A solid BA imperial porter, but I somehow expectef more.. flavours are all there, but pretty light, subtle and friendly. Bit bitter, some coffee, some sweetness, bit boozy.. Pretty thin too.

Tap at Beertemple. Black with cream head. Sweet deep roasted chocolate malts, coffee, roasty as hell, bourbon grainy and soft vanilla smoothness. Quite sweet and bitter. Over medium body and soft carbonation. Really nice.

On tap at the beer temple. Wow that's a lot of whisky! Pours almost black with a fine sheet of white head. Aroma is dominated by whisky, met by dark malts, a lot of chocolate. Big body. Flavour is sweet and spicy, lot of complexity here. Different malt aspects, foremost chocolate and maybe some coffee, but also burnt caramel and molasses. Medium bitterness, with the hops imparting some herbal qualities. Quite hoppy actually. And of course a lot of whisky, especially in the finish. What a lovely porter. The whisky is dominating, but doesn't take over. Super.
