Dark brown, thin head. Quite toasty, nutty, lots of chocolatey, and seems like it's going to be good. Intense on the palate, burnt and sweet at the same time, again with the nuttiness. There's a bit of orange, but also dark sugars. Burnt cassareep. It's burly. Excellent, especially because of the base.

16 oz. bottle, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is rich, with lots of bourbon barrels, chocolate, orange peel, and a touch of a coffee. Flavour is exquisite, with tons of bourbon, alcohol, orange peel, chocolate, and dark sugars. A bit boozy, but the combo of oranges, chocolate and bourbon works very well. Excellent.
