pitch black color. Low carbonation. Super well balance low carbonation. The barrel character doesn't shine as much as I would hope, but still nice.

Tap. Darkest brown color with beige head. Aroma is thick bourbon wood, caramel, vanilla, black chocolate, cocoa powder, a bit nutty. Taste is the same, a bit earthy too. Thick mouthfeel with low carbonation. Quite good!
