Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light roasted malt notes with some sweet chocolate notes and vanilla and bourbon notes. Taste is also a great mix of chocolate notes with some bourbon notes with some vanilla and woody notes also perceptible. Body is pretty full with good carbonation with light warming alcohol notes. Well brewed imperial stout with some nice barrel-aging flavors.

500ml (thx, Jonathan M.!) @ home. Appearance: pours like an oil, almost black with a dark brown head. Aroma: lots of bourbon, bourbon barrel, roasted malts. Taste: body is quite thick, moderately sweet, inky, roasted malts, moderately roasted bourbon barrel finish. Overall: it is quite nice, bur I would prefer more of vanilla and chocolate, than burnt barrel character. But, well, this is, probably, the best we could expect from Makers Mark, right?
