600ml bottle. Obvious black pour, with a medium brown head. Aroma is quite roasty, subtle hints of dark fruit and alot of barrel. Predominantly Bourbon barrel, hints if sweetness probably from the rum, but I can’t find any wine barrel, maybe a tad bit of smokiness from the whisky. Mouth feel is thinner than I expected, but the carb is soft as I expected. The finish is medium bitter, and more copious amounts of Bourbon barrel notes. Some cocoa, and coffee follow with some good roast. A nice stout, but a bit of a barrel bomb, the Bourbon barrel dominates.
