On tap at Taproom, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is rich, with deep dark coffee, vanilla, cocoa, and some bourbon barrels. Flavour is complex as hell, with rich coffee, vanilla, dark sugars, and big bourbon barrels. Integrated, rich, and wonderfully rounded. Beauty.

Roasty, dry and earthy with loads of vanilla, some barrel notes, oak and wood, hints of syrup and licorice. A bit heavy
