Black with thin creamy head. Aroma and flavour are a.bomb of sweet vanilla bourbon and brown sugar. There's also a strong roasted bitterness and some.coffee syrup. Boozy and warming.

2023 bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of dark tan head that lingers, then dissipates. Big bourbon aromas on the nose with fudge, brownie and vanilla aromas. Palate is similar with warming alcohol, bourbon, vanilla, oak and dark chocolate. Slightly boozy finish but nice bourbon, maple dark chocolate cake vibes. Very good.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Almost opaque dark brown beer, good dark tan head, doesn't last very long. Rich viscous dark malts, good dark chocolate liqueur. Pretty intense coffee, rich espresso goodness but with that modern craft element or fruity coffee. Good ripe fruity bourbon, aged and slightly savoury. Airy finish leaves a rich chocolate cake linger. A very rich and rewarding brew.

Bottle at home, picked up from an online peddler, 17/03/24. 2023 vintage. Pitch black with a dirty tan cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is coffee grinds, bourbon, dark malts, roasted notes, vanilla essence, decadent chocolate. Taste comprises bitter roast, coffee grinds, charr, dark malts, spice, bourbon blast, hint of coconut, molasses. Full bodied, light oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced warming boost. Top drawer well balanced BA impy ... carries a good bitter roasted bite so never runs sweet.

Bottle at home. 2023 version. Opaque black color, no head. Aroma is malts, coffee, quite heavy vanilla. Flavor is similar: malts, sweet vanilla quite heavily, moderate coffee notes. Hmm not as coffee-ish and bitter as I had hoped but alright.
