Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is coffee, some tartish fruity and berryish tones. Flavour is fruity, some tartness, mild liquorice, alcohol and a bit toffee.

On tap at the bpbw 22 leftover day. A really lovely imperial stout, smooth and sweet, balanced dark malts, light and underlying bourbon that warms slightly. Prune and caramel, chocolate, light roasted coffee. Not a flashy BA impy, but excellent, so balanced and smooth, delicious.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Black, small brown head. Intense vanillasish bourbon aroma. Mid sweet with full body and dense, rounded mouthfeel. Ashy hard roasted malt, oaky bourbon and coffee. Peppery warming finish. Potent and flavourful. Not very harmonious, but also never cloying.

Can. Jet black with a short tan head. Aroma of boozy fruity malt. Flavour is warm dark fruit, bourbon gives a warm kick. Sticky texture, long roast finish.
