500ml bottle pours out brown topped with a small sand head. Nose is nice rich malts toffee caramel and bourbon barrel. Taste is more of the nice sweet caramel toffee malts pitfruit and some bourbon barrel vanilla.

Bottle thanks to Levi! Pours a a slightly hazy amber brown with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has boozy sweet grains and bourbon with a hint of wheat underlying. Flavor has lots of sweet grains and sweet wheat with some toffee and bourbon supporting.

Bottle. Pours clear mahogany, huge tan head, dissipates slowly, good lacing. Aroma is weathers and bourbon, toffee and vanilla. Hits the BIL high notes pretty well. Flavor is quite sweet, light plus bitter, boozy and full of dark bourbon soaked toasted sugars. Full body. No infection noted (per prior review), but the high carb level may indicate that this is not one to cellar.

Draft at the Herndon location - turbid amber - semi- traditional flavor profile, with some notes of treacle and oxidation - some brighter notes of cherry, a slight acidity to balance the medium-high sweetness - moderate whiskey character - I sense a mild infection way in the back, which I actually think adds character and makes it seem a bit more authentically old-school British - I dig it.

Bottle shared by Jon: pours black with a beige head. Aroma is bourbon, vanilla, caramel, chocolate. Taste is sweet, chocolatey, bourbony. Good.

Draught @ Aslin, Alexandria, VA. Sweet, syrupy and slightly boozy with some wheaty notes, some barrel, bourbon, vanilla and warming alcohol. A bit thin bodied, feels a bit unbalanced and hot.
