Bottle. Nose is caramel, chocolate, cherry, vanilla, bourbon, christmas cake, milky coffee, jammy plums, hint of smoke and ash. Taste is rich bourbon, leading to rich dark chocolate, christmas cake, vanilla, chocolate ice cream, cream, caramel, more chocolate, vanilla, hint of smoke very sweet. Dark chocolate ice cream, The beer is very rich and chocolatey, it tastes enormously like a very posh chocolate ice cream whose brand I can't recall. It's nice but the chocolate dominates too much (far more than the nose would imply).

Keg at IMBC. It pours oily darkest brown with a small tan head. The aroma is sweet, oily, sticky, intense bourbon action, toffee, vanilla, oak, bounty bar, chocolate cake, chocolate torte and rocky road. The taste is slick, oily, bitter - sweet, rather raw, hot, warming booze, chocolate sponge cake, cacao nibs, bitter chocolate, ash, charred stuff and spice with a hot finish. Full body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. Nice aroma, but the taste is rather hot and raw.

Keg at IMBC 2018, session 4. Pours black-brown with a small, foamy beige head. Big gear, loads of ashy roast, charcoal, bitter dark chocolate, baking cocoa, a little smoke. Full bodied, dense and chewy, with fine carbonation. Hot finish, quite dry and ashy, with more intense bitter baking cocoa. Pretty full-on.
