500 ml bottle. If you love Eagle Rare bourbon, you will love this. Aroma is oak, vanilla, wheated bourbon. Mild spicy bourbon, with the vanilla oak, and soft roasted malt. No booze or alcohol burn whatsoever. Gosh that is marvelous!
Aroma is dark chocolate, bourbon, barrel. Taste is insane, thick, viscous, smooth, perfectly integrated, just right to open. Warms as you sip with new flavors. Amazing beer.

Bottle from the Packie Inky black color with a thin tan head that quickly dissipates. Huge aroma and flavor. Cocoa licorice brown sugar roast earth chocolate syrup and a solid hit of earthy oaken coconut bourbon and alcohol notes. So much happening and I like it.

Bottle, 500 ml, courtesy of Max. shared with him, Luka, MiroB and kajser27. Black with beige head. Chocolate, cocoa, bourbon, very balanced, bitterish finish, tad of sweetness. Nice one.
Bourbon, vanilla, smooth, toffee. Surprisingly subtle and soft for a GI, tasty for sure but expected more.

Bottle from Johns. Pours a pitch black hue with a small beige head. A massive nose wafting out, just huge sweet barrel. Whiskey, massive amounts, heat is there, roast, chocolate. Very sweet whiskey. Damn good. Decadent.

Bottle pour at Clybourn, 12/1/23. Clear with deep burgundy edges and a thin ring of tan bubbles. Classic BCBS notes of brown sugar, milk chocolate and vanilla are joined by rich cherry and spice of the eagle rare. Round, rich, soft, no aggressive or boozey notes. So much mellow black pepper lingering. Soft, rich, succulent. Lots of plum melding into light berry and black pepper. Mild cherry and vanilla from the eagle rare. So soft, rich and round just like the bourbon. Easygoing, drinkable, just a touch of heft with no booze, excess sugar or intense liquor.
