very hazy dark brown color. Looks like a dirty milkshake. Bourbon chocolate milkshake all the way. The nose is amazing. Heavy, tons of chocolate and vanilla and bourbon. Big badass and tons of oak. Big bad and lovely.

Can, smallish head, opaque pitch brown colour, lots of wood in aroma with some bourbon, cake, chocolate and coffee, flavor of chocolate, wood and a bit of cinnamon and vanilla, lots of alcohol but blending nicely, quite sweet. Really nice and enjoyable.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is ginger bread, mild toffee, some syrup and raisins. Flavour is alcohol, some lavendel, mild syrup, some ginger, a bit tarry with some slight liquorice. Very sweet burnt wooden and syrupy aftertaste.
