12/4/2025. Bottle from Beerdome Online store. Pours close to black with a small frothy beige head. Aroma is rich chocolate, malted, woody, chocolate sponge cake, vanilla, dark fruits, dried fruits. Moderate sweetness and roasted bitterness. Full bodied, smooth, average to soft carbonation. Good finisher to the day.

Aromas are black patent, molasses, roast, dark malt and cocoa. Flavors are similar but a little better than nose. It's on the sweet side but moderated. Roast comes out a little bit more and while leaning sweet is fairly balanced and drinkable. Curious to know what a 10 year old bottle would be like. Big beer.

Aroma is amazing, bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, typical lovely us white oak, some leather, cacao nibs, toffee, great stuff… this complexity can’t be found in European beers.. 💪🏻 well it’s a 4.4 or 4.3 btw…

Very dark ruby-brown pour with a tall, fine-grained tan headHuge bourbon up front, with additional toffee, coffee, subtle bitter cherries, vanilla, chocolate, quite a bit of bourbon-soaked oak. Soft texture, low carbonation, full body. Really nicely balanced, both in terms of tasting notes as well as mouthfeel and finish. Awesome stuff.
