Bottle.

A- Black color, black liquid, no head.

A- Dark chocolate fudge, mild bourbon, nutty.

F- Hazelnut, dark chocolate, faint rye, bourbon, faint sweetness, brownie batter.

T- Full body, thick texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.

O- This was about 7 years old thanks to Tavour but it still has held up nicely. Like a nutella brownie batter. Very very thick and almost chewy. Not too sweet thankfulyl and easy to drink a bomber on my own. Some barrel influence for sure but not too boozy. Nice rich dark chocolate flavors balanced with the nutty flavor. Not worth the price, but very tasty.

Black, gluggy, almost flat, little bit of fine brown head. Smell is rich, boozy, bourbon and a lot of hazel. Thick, creamy and boozy. Taste is lightly sweet, with some nice roasty bitterness coming in. Loads of hazelnut, but not oversweet. Balanced well.
