On tap at Abnormal, pours black with s small brown head. Aroma brings out lots of whiskey barrels upfront, with moderately smoky coffee and light roast. Flavour is heavy on the bourbon, with some rather cheap barrel character coming through - probably the Bulleit - with subdued coffee poking through. The barrel choice could be improved, I think. Solid beer still.
