Bottle split at Craft Beer Junction, thanks to LKS 18/10/23. Light black with a good sized khaki cap that clears edgewards. Nose is cocoa powder, earthy roast, charr, fruit cake mix. Taste comprises chocolate, spice, earthy fruits, dark malts, raisins, fruit cake mix. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Not bad ... struggling to find much bourbon barrel though.

6/12/2023. Bottle shared by Colin, cheers. Pours clear very dark brown with a small frothy beige head. Aroma of dark malts, chocolate, molasses, cocoa, dried fruits, toffee, nut, touch of bourbon. Moderate sweetness, medium roasted bitterness. Quite full bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Rich chocolate mildly boozy finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle share at CBJ. Thanks to LKS. Almost opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Palate is light and semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thinnish dark malts, decent but slightly tangy dark chocolate. Little coffee. Mild fruity bourbon and a thin vanilla oak. Light and semi dry finish. Tasty enough, the mouthfeel to me, is odd for the style.
