Very dark dark brown. Sweet nose with molasses, dark chocolate, coffee and bourbon. Everything is perfectly balanced but as expected slightly sweet but the barrel really rounds things. Never cloying or too sweet. Superbly put together, bourbon is just right. Lingering

Tap at Hop Buds in Nagoya. Pitch black with a rusty head of foam and an oaky coffee and bourbon smell but it is tough to appreciate over Hop Buds new leather smell. Medium bodied and velvety smooth with a light boozy burn. I get oak, toffee, vanilla, coffee and dark chocolate with the bourbon burn creeping up on you. Lots of heat as you polish off your glass. A sipper for sure.
