Thanks to Benzai / Drebus! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ ZZT 2017. Black. Nose is lovely thick sweet herbal cacao mocha, I don’t get clear brandy or bourbon in the nose but lots of nice sweetness, chocolate, sweet & big sweet nuts. Taste is lovely sweet barrel is more sweet sugar, candy, chocolate, clear nut finish, sugar, vanilla oak, bourbon in the back. Taste thick round malt syrup, sweet & round with nutty finish. Very neat. Another great Cigar City beer.
