22 oz bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of chocolate, molasses, bourbon barrels, and a touch of sea salt. Flavour has plenty of chocolate, molasses, bourbon barrels, plenty of sea salt, and a touch of vanilla. I’m not sure the salt helps, but the barrel blend is fantastic and the adjuncts just add subtle complements. Excellent.

22oz (thx, Brian S.!) @ SF.
Cinnamon, some maple syrup, sweet, some fruity character. Full-bodied, moderately sweet, nice integration of flavors. Another nice creation of MT.

Dark brown. Big, rich aroma, with a lot of chocolate, light coffee, and a bit of white sugar. On the palate, it's got a hit of vanilla, alcohol, a woody barrel accent. There's a touch of cinnamon. Good rich character. It does have that chocolate note, with a touch of cinnamon, so that it goes in the direction of churro y chocolate. The barrel here is interesting, because it hits with some tannin but otherwise doesn't complement the rich chocolatey character.

500mL bottle. Pours opaque dark brown with a beige head. Vanilla, cinnamon, dark chocolate on the nose. Flavour has whiskey barrel, roasted malt, vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa. Slightly syrupy sweetness. Very nice.
