Opaque dark brown beer with a good tan head. Airy soft palate, reasonable fine carbonation. The fluffy dark malts deliver a good chocolate, chocolate cake takes the lead but there are nice touches of dark chocolate and milk chocolate and a trace of chocolate fudge. Smooth fruity bourbon comes through on the back end and integrates well. The strange wood Amburana provides that sweet perfumey vibe and becomes a little more obvious as the beer warms. The soft finish reveals some bitterness that tastes like it BBA derived. A smooth and sophisticated affair that disappeared in a jiffy.

Medium body, oily, sweet and boozy. Plenty of cinnamon, spices (cassia bark?), vanilla. Very nice.
