500mL bottle. Pours opaque dark brown with no head. Aroma has a ton of bourbon barrel, roasty malts, charred wood, dark sugars. Flavour has a ton of bourbon barrel, nice roasty malts, charred wood, rum on the finish. Mouthfeel is very thick. This works really well for me, but definitely on the aggressive side.

500ml (thx, Renny!) @ Salesforce. Appearance: pours like oil, almost black with no head. Aroma: a lot of American oak, bold. Taste: very THICK, a lot of American oak, moderately sweet, charred oak, and rum sand-ish. Overall: this one kinda went a bit over the edge in terms of viscosity and barrel aging. So much of American oak with noticeable rum.

Dark brown. No head. There's a rich cocoa on the aroma, that sort of burnt sugar character I really like. On the palate, it's got more of that big cocoa, burnt character. It's a big one. The barrel is lending sugar, but not much fruitiness. It's not the most rummy character, but there's a touch of wood.

500mL bottle, pours jet black with no head. Aroma brings out bourbon barrels, light rum, dark sugars, and alcohol. Flavour is extremely intense, featuring the rum casks upfront and dominating; the bourbon takes a back seat. There's plenty of sugars in here, balanced by the alcohol. It's not brutal by any means, but the rum is a bit too prominent for my liking. The viscosity is pretty ridiculous, coating the palate in intense oiliness. Good stuff for sure, but not exactly my thing.
