750mL bottle. Pours near black brown with minimal beige head. Aroma has whiskey, coconut, sweet white wine, dark roast. Flavour is very rich, lots of whiskey, coconut, sweet dessert wine. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy. Heavy, lots of thick wine and dessert beer. A bit brutal.

750ml (thx, Phill!) @ Sales Force. Appearance: almost black with a beige head. Aroma: American oak, sweetness, some sweet coconut. Taste: sweet, quite thick, boozy, sludgy, dark fruits. Overall: kinda good beer that in between of the old and new world stouts.

Dark brown. No head. Rich chocolately aroma, with balanced coconut and whiskey. On the palate, the sauternes shows up well, with a light bourbon accent, and then the chocolate, roasty character. Seems like the aroma has coconut and not much sauternes, then they get reversed on the palate. Whether or not these two elements go together I'm not 100% on board, but not 100% against it either.

Poured from 750mL bottle (bottle 0503/1700). Near black with very minimal bige head and a bit of glob sediment. Coconut, nice barrel underlay, solid.

750mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma has some wine barrels, coconut, medium roast, and dark sugars. Flavour is very sweet, with lots of dark sugars, gentle vinous notes, coconut, and dark dried fruits. Oily as hell, with plenty of pastry-like coconut and chocolatey sugars. Very tasty.

750ml bottle pours out thick black topped with a tan head. Nose is great big chocolate toasted coconut bourbon barrel vanilla. Taste is more of the nice sweet chocolate roast malts vanilla coconut bourbon barrels the best of the line up.

Bomber at my retirement party. Ebony pour with a thin beige head. Sweet roasty malts in the aroma, boozy. Taste brings coconut and vanilla, a touch of cinnamon plus the requisite barrel notes, woody bourbon. Warm. Luscious and decadent.
