Tap. Brown color with no head. Aroma is intense vanilla, chocolate, caramel. Taste is sweet vanilla, caramel, chocolate, sweet but in the good way. Booze warmth in the back, but not too much. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Very nice, despite the sweetness!

12oz bottle pours a murky black with some cloudy, beige head. Nose has maple and vanilla, caramel, barrel, some chocolate cake. Flavor has vanilla and chocolate, caramel, molten lava cake with a shot of good bourbon. With the maple, it finishes a bit sweet... if I had to find a critique.
