Malty, earthy and slightly syrupy with some raisins, caramel, prunes, mild hints of some tartish cherries and stingy woody barrel notes. A bit unbalanced, but still quite tasty

Medium body, boozy and a bit dry. Dark chocolate, some coffee, bourbon, dark cherries in the finnish. Seems to be in good shape, smooth and very nice.

375mL bottle courtesy of andrewje41 (thank you!), pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is very bourbon-heavy and complex, with a wonderful bourbon barrel character, vanillins, and some alcoholic warming. Flavour is wonderfully integrated, with lots of dark dried fruits, luscious bourbon barrels, some vanillin, and toffee. Wonderfully blended. Elegant.

Flaska från McQuillans, tack! Svart med brunbeige krona. Precis i inledning en lakritston, fat, rostade toner, toffee, lite bärighet som drar åt svarta vinbär och viol. En bit in i eftersmaken en oerhört snygg och ihängande ton av lakritsrot och nästan lite anis och fänkål. Väldigt snyggt och elegant.

375ml (thx, Andrew!) @ Matt's new place during Andrew's visit. Appearance: very dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: lots of bourbon barrels, dark sugars, and some dark fruits. Taste: along the same lines, bourbon barrels, charred oak, and some cherries. Overall: good one.

Dark brown. No head. On the nose, all kinds of bourbon, nice chocolate, hazelnut liqueur. Burly alcohol. On the palate, has a nice old ale quality, a bit slick but a bit toasty. Maybe a bit thin. Nice nutty character, big bourbon, and a mellow vanilla to round it out. Yeah, that's really nice.

Poured from 375mL bottle (bottled Jan 13, 2018 courtesy of andrewje41). Black with almost no beige head. Very nice bourbon, feint cherry quality, some mild dried fruit, hint of rum. Very nice.

375mL bottle, courtesy of andrewje41 (thanks buddy), pours jet black with a tiny beige head. Nose is rich and complex, with lots of dark dried fruits, decadent bourbon barrels, rum and other spirits. Flavour is rich with dark dried fruits, cherries, bourbon, rum, spirits, and booze. Wonderful blend, with some pleasant sherry-like oxidation. Maybe not world-class, but it's certainly excellent.

375ml bottle. Malty, slightly roasty and caramely with some bourbon, oak, wood, vanilla, toffee and syrup. Pretty good.
