Super intense malt overdose with loads of syrup, barrel notes, oak, bourbon, toffee, vanilla and sweetness. Sweet and massive slow sipper.

12oz can pours out amber brown color topped with a small ring of a head. Nose is amazing rich malts caramel toffee bourbon barrel some heat. Taste is more of the sweet malts bourbon barrel vanilla booze balanced... this is great.

Holy h*** thanks to my brother from another mother (Homer) for sending me this bad boy. Aroma is decadent dark sugar's toffee caramel vanilla oak, werthers candies bourbon, cherry, fig. Flavor is quite sweet but amazingly not hot this is definitely a dessert sipper but oh my God is it well constructed. Medium body.

Sample shared by MJ. Dark amber with beige head that disappears quickly. Overripe cherries, loads of oak and bourbon, burnt sugar, butterscotch, quite a bit of blue cheese complexity. Lovely brew.

Can thanks to Brian. Pours a dark amber with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong bourbon, vanilla, licorice, toffee, oak. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, hides alcohol well, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.

Can thanks to Billy T-Bags. It pours darkest brown, approaching black with a dissipating deep tan head. The aroma is sweet, oily, unctuous, intoxicating, big vanilla character, vanilla fudge, toffee, massive bourbon character, dried fruits, fruit cake, bourbon soaked oak, rich cherry, Bakewell tart, raspberry jam, dark chocolate covered cherry and just a touch of toasted coconut. The taste is slick, oily, unctuous, fulsome, intoxicating, toasty malts, quite juicy actually, lovely cherry character upfront, Bakewell tart, black forest gateaux, malt loaf, vanilla, coconut, vanilla fudge, massive hit of bourbon which lingers throughout, dried fruits, fruit cake, nip of spice, coffee, pleasing alcohol warmth (but not nearly as toppy as the abv would suggest) and some cacao nibs with a slick, unctuous, oily finish. Full bodied, fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. Incredible depth of flavour. So much to like about this. Flavourful and balanced. Moreish. Grade A stuff.
gave a cheers!

Can from Tavour. Pours dark mahogany with orange glints. Aroma of rye and floral. Arguably full bodied. Not dry, but not sticky. Not exactly bitter, but heat helps. It's sort of a rye toffee with notes of oaky astringency. Superb sipper.
