2021 tasted sep. 2025 dark brown, brown head.
A lot of bourbon in the aroma, also vanilla, roasted malts, honey like notes.
i think i liked the 2017 better...
flavor is bourbon, chocolate, licorice, coconut, fainter roasted malts. it's like the roasted malts don't really go heavy in this one. On the other hand, the bourbon notes are close to as good as they could possibly get.

500ml bottle. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived, fizzy tan head. The aroma is roasty, warm boozy bourbon. The flavour is strong sweet and liquorice bitter, with a silky smooth, rich, roasty, oily, chocolate, light vanilla, oaky, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Full bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Original 2021.
Sampled at Bourbon County Stout Tasting @ Johnny's. Opaque black color, light brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, roasted malts, superb bourbon in there, liquor and malt roasty bitters. Lovely. 9-8,5-8,5-9-9.
