500ml bottle from New Earth Market. Dark brown, small beige head. Aroma is roast and chocolate. Taste turns a bit sweet, more chocolate and very mellow barrel notes. Not super strong, a bit dry, but very flavorful.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark brn/blk with a darkish tan head. Aroma of chocolate, treacle and bourbon. Full bodied or nearly. Flavor is dark chocolaty treacle with clearly discernible bourbon flavor. Not at all dry, but there is an oak astringency aspect. So it's like a dry, bitter ale.One of those amazing beer complexity things. Also some darkish fruit lurks in the depths. Very earthy. With time some "whiskey"ness comes through. Very pleasing ale.
