500ml bottle from Tavour. Bottle labelled as being aged in mixed barrels. Cellared. Near black pour, patchy beige head, ring of foam. Aroma is coffee, roasty malts and chocolate. Taste is sweet, coffee fades, chocolate and cola notes, vanilla highlights. Body seems thin, but all else is spot on.

2020 sample at Shelter pours a leggy, opaque black with a ring of beige head. Nose has a lot of caramel and booze and cocoa, licorice, molasses, nougat. Flavor has molasses and cocoa and caramel and some toffee nuts, something vinous, red wine lees. Barrel is present but very complimentary. Full bodied with some heat but pretty damn smooth too.

Capped 500 from Tavour at 11.6%. Pours dark brn/blk with a creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, bourbon, vanilla. Toasted/burnt malt. Full bodied. Heat is present, but not an issue. Bourbon. Chocolate. Vanilla. Smooth burnt malt. Notes of wood astringency. Not dry, but it seems rather that way. Not at all sugary. Burnt malt bitter. Hints of plum. And dates. Clearly not a stout. Whiskey is ever present. Very good flavor.
