On tap at Shacklands, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Nose is full of bourbon, with a very perfumey character, nail polish remover, and vanilla. Flavour is harsh, with lots of perfume notes, vanilla, and nail polish remover. The barrels don't seem to have been used too well. Harsh, amateur brew.

In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with light vanilla, bourbon barrel notes, alcohol warmth, light licorice, very nice and rich. On tap at brewery.
