On tap at Darkness Day 2015. Pours a very dark brown with a bubbly brown head that starts and remains at the edges. Aroma has notes of musty dark grains and oak with a bit of bread underlying. Flavor has earthy dark grains and a strong ISO note with some bitter grass in the finish.

Cask @ Darkness Day 2012. Pours a reddish brown appearance with light bubbly, tan head. Quite rich and fresh oaky, tannic, vanilla, somewhat nutty aroma. Tannin forward, grain woody, nutty, toasty malty, toffee flavor. One of my favorites that I tasted during Darkness Day.

Cask @ Darkness Day: Dark brown pour with a finger of creamy tan head. Great lacing. Nose is heavily sweet and bourbon filled. Flavor is subdued, some sweetness from the bourbon, light oaky notes, roast, and nutty. Comes accross a little weak in the end and finished really soft... just ok.
