12oz can from Brewers Haven. Near black pour, a few bubbles, razor thin ring. Boozy aroma, bourbon, chocolate. Taste begins with sweetness, roasty, and then a big, warm bourbon barrel hit. Notes of dark chocolate and anise. Very good

On tap at Fortside, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out plenty of roasted malt, gentle cocoa, some earthiness, and a healthy dose of woody hops too. Flavour is intense, with big roasted malt, some black liquorice, and bitter woody hops. There's a bit of fruitiness on the finish. On the brutal side but I like the roasted intensity of this. Very good.

12 oz. can, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is big on the bourbon barrels, with plenty of vanillin, some iodine, cocoa, and roast. Flavour is robust, with intense woody barrel character dominating, medium roast, some earthiness, and more wood. Quite dry, somewhat charred, and woody. The base beer is probably not the greatest, but the barrel character really shines. Very good.

Poured from 355mL can. Pitch black with small tan head. Bourbon barrel, mild chocolate, fairly mellow flavour, but lets the bourbon shine through. Decent.
