Clear, dark auburn-mahogany. Small, tan head.
Rich bourbon and rye with light green bell pepper. Rich and soft with excellent aging. Pepper and lead. No alcohol but very chocolatey.
Rich and juicy with vanilla and milk chocolate. Fudge and rich bourbon. Spice, pepper, lead. Soft and rich, good attenuation. Malty as hell and on the sweeter side, but a hell of a barrel character.

375mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma reveals a shitload of coffee upfront, with a nice blend of bourbon, brown sugar, and toffee. Flavour is a lot more complex and multi-dimensional than the nose, with deep bourbon barrels, intense coffee, brown sugar, and toffee. Cohesive–showcasing the bourbon and coffee front-and-centre. Excellent.

Dark brown. No head. The aroma comes across as ancho, but that may well be coffee, and some big bourbon character as well. Similar palate. Lots of alcohol and barley wine, with a soft body. Delicious chocolate, coming together with a bit of nuttiness. Unusual and excellent.
