Bottled. Dark brown colour with a mediumsized foamy beigeish brown head. Aroma is bourbon, wood, vanilla, some espresso, mild cocoa, ashes, roasted tones with some alcohol and mild toffee too. Flavour is espresso coffee, some cocoa, roasted malts, some alcohol, toffee, mild dried fruits with some wooden and slightly spicy tones. I spent a good 3 hours drinking this at the pub.

Big, beastly sugar stout. Nice blend after tasting the single barrel. Hot barrel tone sort of smoothed out by the sugary black base. More depth than it's peers still, a fun beer to sip at.
