Black with quick fading head. Aroma has dark roasted malts and wood. Flavour has dark bittersweet malts and vanilla. Quite boozy but has quite a decent balance. Aftertaste is predominantly bourbon.

Can. Dark brown pour. Aroma of sweet bourbon vanilla, coconut, caramel fudge, chocolate, raisin, sweet cherry and booze. Taste has rich bourbon vanilla, caramel fudge, coconut, sweet cherry, chocolate, raisin, figs, dates and a boozy bourbony finish. The buffalo trace shines and I love it.

0.33 l can from 'Drinks & Gifts', best before October 2025. Pitch black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty and a little boozy aroma of dark chocolate, licorice, coffee, hazelnut and a touch of bourbon. Rather sweet, malty, gently roasty-bitter taste of dark chocolate, licorice, hazelnut, coffee, some bourbon and vanilla, followed by a long, gently roasty-bitter, a little earthy and a bit boozy, almost burning finish. Full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid BA ware from Kees, not very deep and a bit too boozy. Still tasty, but feels quite young. Might be worth aging.

Dark ruby-brown pour with a thin tan head. Toffee, bourbon, vanilla, oak. A bit boozy but overall quite enjoyable.
