Bottle, thanks for sharing! Pours near black with an earthy brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice earthy chocolate with roasted malts, bourbon and a hint of dark grains backing. Flavor a great bourbon and chocolate combination with dark grains and roast malts supporting.

Bottled Aug 4 2020, drunk 11/19/22, thanks TJ! Syrupy, clear, dark mahogany to ebony. No head. Big, fruity, mega chocolatey malts interspersed nicely with the barrel which demonstrates plentiful spicy whiskey. There's light alcohol on the finish but very restrained overall for its size. Massive, thick, rich aroma. Equally malty, thick, rich, syrupy. Not too sweet, easily balanced by the massive whiskey character. Thankfully that's not overdone either and it's primarily the bourbon, not the barrel. Light alcohol, prunes, raisin, vanilla, huge milk chocolate. Lovely stuff, but to be honest, I'm less impressed with the actual whiskey character than, say, Elijah Craig Stay Puft. It's a bit raw, overly spicy and on the verge of overpowering even this malt beast.

Bottle at Goose Island Fulton. Pours black with medium tan head that lasts. The aroma is strong bourbon, wood, tobacco. Slick body, chocolate, wood, roast, nice sweetness, bourbon, enjoyed this.

Bottle shared by Brian at the 4/2022 PS tasting. Black with a thin head. Aroma of roast, coffee, chocolate, bourbon. Taste is chocolate, raisin, cherry, bourbon, vanilla. Full bodied. I typed “bright” but not sure what I meant by that. Exceptional, and best at the tasting.

500ml bottle. Sweet, heavy and roasty with some bourbon, toffee, syrup and caramel, hints of vanilla and oak. Quite sweet for a BCBS
This is really nice. Tons of flavor as it warms in the glass. Drinking really nice. Thanks Brian.
Sweet bourbon and caramel on the nose. Thick, oily, sweet, boozy. Lots of bourbon, caramel, vanilla, some heat, coconut. Incredible how much barrel and bourbon there is, aftertaste is pure burb with some dark chocolate. Excellent.

500 ml. Aroma of plums, toasted marshmallow, vanilla, bourbon. Flavor has the toasted marshmallow, vanilla, burnt toast and mild oak. As it warms the booze comes forward. Still very flavorful in it own right.

50 cl bottle @ Jyrchi, BBE 04.08.2025 Aroma has licorice and bourbon. Also vanilla and alcohol. Flavour has rubbery tones, licorice, bourbon, alcohol. A bit too rubbery and strong on alcohol.
