Huge thanks to Maakun! 655 ml. bottle sampled @ ZZT 2017. Black, the head is only briefly there. Nose is basic sweet cacao chocolate, mocha, more sweet chocolate cacao, milk chocolate, pralines than clear bourbon. Taste is nice mellow round vanilla chocolate, milk chocolate, sweet but not hugely so, bigger surprise is how round, restrained & balanced this is, vanilla is clearly here but not excessive, bourbon, sweetness, everything is in check, hell this is shockingly drinkable even, basic chocolate cacao mocha body thick but not too thick. Very lovely.

Sampled from bottle shared @ ZZT 2017. Opaque black color, decent to medium sized light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, whisky, vanilla. Taste malts, bourbon, roast, vanilla, boozy but suitable for the beer. Heavy though, but nice. Slow sipper.

Bottle at rbsg Grand tasting. Pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is big chocolate vanilla cake barrel booze and more of the sweetness. Taste is more of the big chocolate vanilla fudge and barrel.

Bottle - Bakers and chocolatier had a baby and produced this vanilla fudge bomb. Deep dark brown. Vanilla, chocolate and intense richness. It hurts so good.

Bottle thanks to Brian. Pours black with small tan head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong vanilla, roasted malt, dark chocolate, molasses, wood. Slick body, nice sweetness, similar flavors to nose, very boozy, enjoyed this.
