Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to nothing. Dark pit fruit, vanilla, bourbon and oak aromas. Medium bodied with hot, alcohol soaked raisins and pit fruit upfront turning to chocolate and soy in the lasting finish.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is decadent, with loads of bourbon and vanilla upfront, followed by treacle, caramel and a touch of liqueur. Flavour is no less impressive, with tons of bourbon and vanilla, followed by caramel, treacle, a touch of cocoa and more bourbon. Amazingly deep, with a warming finish. Phenomenal stuff.

650ml bottle from Firestone Walker Venice. Pours dark brown, almost black with a small head. Aroma of raisins, bourbon, wood, oak, vanilla, toffee, syrup, hints of brandy, mustard, ripe fruits and mild roastiness. Taste is sweetish, complex and slightly syrupy with some bourbon, wood, vanilla, oak, toffee, mild roastiness, ripe fruits, raisins and chocolate and coffee. Complex and heavy, but perhaps the raisin and quad-like notes from Stickee Monkee dominate a bit too much.
