500ml (thx, Phill!) @ Sales Force. Appearance: very dark brown with Aroma: loads of different barrels, some boozy notes, molasses. Taste: thick, quite sweet, lots of barrels, some dark fruits, very boooozy. Overall: too much booze, but it's still enjoyable.

500mL bottle. Pours deep dark brown with minimal beige head. Aroma has bourbon, port, dry wood. Flavour has bourbon, port barrel, a ton of boozieness. Definitely a booze-forward drink, but very enjoyable.

Poured from 1 pint .9 fl oz bottle. Very dark brown with minimal beige head. Hot bourbon, feint port note (more on the taste), decent.

Dark brown, no head. The aroma showcases a rich stout, with a bit of fruitiness, and dark sugars. On the palate, it's rich, big bodied, with deep fruitiness and there's a burnt sugar. The port finish does lend a fruity, woody accent to the finish. Solid.

500mL bottle, pours black with a tiny tan head. Aroma is complex, with plenty of bourbon barrels, charred oak, and dry, light roast. Flavour is full of heavy charred oak, intense bourbon barrels, medium roast, and light booze that's integrated. Heavy char and lovely bourbon character. I can't say I detect the port here. Regardless, this is delicious.
