375ml bottle. Opaque, darkest brown colour with minimally late awakening, small, frothy to creamy fading, beige head. Intense and condensed, caramel malty aroma, notes of caramel, dark caramel, Bourbon, vanilla, a touch of marzipan, nougat. Taste is sweet, intense, caramel malty and slightly fruity alcoholic, notes of caramel, Bourbon, vanilla, a touch of plum wine, some treacle, subdued bitter hoppy counterweight; slightly warming, alcoholic finish.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, cloying palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Very intense, concentrated - nice sipper.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Opaque jet black color, average sized light brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, oddly nutty, sweetness, light red fruit notes, toffee notes. Underlying bitterness. Not bad but also not as good as I'd hoped.
