Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is opaque inky black with no discernible sparkle, minimal light brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt with bourbon characteristics (slightly alcoholic with deep sniff), hints of dark chocolate and coffee. Taste is initial blast of dark fruit, then roasted malt, mild bourbon contribution, late coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, bourbon contribution could have been stronger but often the opposite is true, especially with one so young. Things complemented each other well.

500 ml shared by tfontana. Early 2019 release. Pitch black appearance. Aroma is mild char, subtle bourbon, chocolate. Flavor is layered and nuanced. Light char, subtle vanilla, mild fruit, bourbon only appears as a slight nuance in the finish. ABV doesn’t slap you in the face. Quite nice.
