Bottle with membership group!!!! Inky black with nice viscosity. Aroma is strong, mellow bourbon, hint of chocolate. Taste is strong bourbon, cherry/dark fruit, slightly peaty malt, mild toffee. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. How the hell is this 16.6%? Bourbons are lovely and completely smooth. Other elements from the base stout. Lovely sipper.

Bottle 598/1100, bottled 9/18/23. As pictured. Drunk 11/1/25.
Smells incredible. Fudgey Bourbon for days. Dry spice to balance. No alcohol. Pretty chocolatey with a touch vinousness.
Soft, sweet, succulent and balanced with good, spicy acidity. But of prune, bit of char, light cigar. Spicy, sweet, luscious bourbon and no heat. Maybe just a touch, touch sweet, if I have to be constructive. But just a wealth of flavor and near perfect barrel for expression.
