Mooch tasting, courtesy of the gang
Black colour, high viscosity. Strong aroma, very nutty, chocolate, vanilla, alcohol, but also some tobacco (8.5). Thick, sweet; chocolate flavour, some molasses, liquorice, almonds, rosated nuts, big alcohol kick, hot, and tar in the finish.
Not very elegant, but this is bold.

Bottle picked up at Cycle. Dense near black pour quick fading head. Rich vanilla, some cool barrel content, and a nutty afterthought. I thought this would be out of balance on the pistachio side, however the vanilla really jumps out here. Smooth barrel aged brew. Long lastig flavorful palate. Awesome brew.

330ml (thx, Andrew!) @ Matt's new place during Andrew's visit. Appearance: dark brown with almost no head. Aroma: as expected - bourbon, vanilla, and some pistachios. Moderately sweet. Taste: thick, lots of barrels, some vanilla and pistachios. Overall: pretty good.

11.2 oz bottle, pours jet black with a small light brown head. Aroma is loaded with pistachio, bourbon barrels, vanilla, and dark sugars. Flavour is full of green pistachios, vanilla, and bourbon barrels. The pistachio comes across more as green, underripe pistachios, which drowns out most of the other elements. Very pleasant.

Dark and inky. No head. Aroma has a decent pistachio. On the palate, quite thick, rich, sweet, but also lots of bitterness underneath. A good pistachio, and a lot of vanilla. Good stuff.
