No head, deep dark beer with a reddish rim. Heavy stout & Bourbon nose, musk, velvet. Intense black chocolate with a royal dose of high quality maple syrup. Vanilla, double cream. Chewy, lots of chocolate (black & sweet) and a very remarkable dried dates' flavour in the finish. Incense, and again musk, animal fur, maple syrup, and of course lots & lots of Bourbon. Ultra dense, chewy and viscous texture, as syrup; alcoholheat, sticky. Very good, impressive stout.

From backlog. Bottle pour @ Pien, Helsinki. Sweetish, intense with chocolatey roastiness, barrel, bourbon and cocoa notes. Quite heavy slow sipper.

Thick, oily, boozy, sweet. Dark chocolate, raisin, plenty of bourbon. Dry oak barrel in the finish. Rich and heavy but decently balanced, very nice.

Bottle thanks to Ian. Pours black with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is rye bourbon, wood, cocoa. Slick body, bourbon, wood, cocoa, roast, dry finish, very good.

Bomber from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a very slight, very transient rusty tan head. My first thought was cod liver oil - based on dosing when I was a child. Deeper reflection shows wood, chocolate, bourbon, toasted/burnt malt. Full bodied. It's almost, but not quite sticky. Sort of chocolate fudge, bourbon and wood and toasted/burnt malt. That CLO thing came back to my mind, but I think that was based on texture. Heat burns the back of the palate on each quaff, but that's acceptable. There's more to this than I can parse - my palate is rapidly reaching fatigue levels. One heck of a big roasty/toasty beer.
