Draft - Lots of dark coffee notes. Jet black with a decent light brown head. Throat heats up right away, bourbon barrel, coffee and more heat. It is nicely balanced though and the heat builds up nicely without ruining the beer.

On tap at Seattle Winter Beer Festival 2014, pours a deep dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out vanilla beans, whiskey barrels and some spiciness. Flavour brings out the spices upfront, with loads of chilis, followed by vanilla and light whiskey. This is dominated by the spicy peppers without being too dominated. Very nice stuff.

On tap at PIB, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out some spices, licorice, a touch of roast and some cocoa. Flavour brings out lots of licorice mixed with roasted malt and cocoa. Fairly prominent boozy barrel quality to this as well. Pretty harsh and a bit difficult to drink, but decent in small doses nonetheless.
