Panda, massive thanks to Cloin. Opaque dark brown beer, tiny tan head. Smooth and viscous palate, modest fine carbonation but commensurate with the style and hefty abv. Smooth rich chocolate malts, chocolate fudge and chocolate cake. Fruity chocolate. Smooth bourbon, rich and fruity. No heat and no alcohol spice. Smooth finish. Hugely drinkable, not over sweet and just very easy to quaff. Dangerous stuff.

2022 bottle drunk 12/27/24.
Clear, very dark. Small, tan head.
Roast, char, fudge ....smells like light tootsie-lactose. Not boozey. Lots of dark fruit. Spicy rye and almost a smokey barrel character. But not super compelling.
Sweet, syrupy, fudgey, very liquid tootsie roll. Whiskey is lightly spicy, mellow, not all that characterful. It does dry out a bit in the finish but it's more of an alcohol dryness than a proper attenuation. Kinda grows on you and the soft, rich, syrupy body is comforting, but yeah...just a bit too messy and sweet. Some apparent alcohol isn't welcome, either.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, small brown head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is alcohol, liquorice, some mild toasted tones with mocca and syrup. Flavour is alcohol, some liquorice, toffee, some syrup and mocca tones with quite a burning finish, and very warming feel all the way down to the stomach.
