Inky with rich dark sugar character, with burnt fruits, nice with some sticky notes. Fairly sweet, sugary, dark sugar, some plummy fruits. Quite smooth, mellow, brown sugar crystalizes on your lips when you drink it. Nice.

Bottle - Dark roast, nutty notes and vanilla. Deep jet brown with a light brown head. Lots of nice chocolate, sweet bourbon and a long pleasant finish. Very drinkable fresh.

Tasting at Matt’s
Black color; generous head, but not persistent. Very rich beer, chocolatey, velvety, bold; it’s fairly sweet with just traces of roasted malts; the barrels just add a few layers of complexity and blend well together.
Excellent.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is very complex, with loads of whiskey barrels, followed by toasted bready malt -- very complex whiskey notes here. Flavour is super complex and quite sweet, with whiskey barrels, caramel malts, and some burnt brown sugar. Complex as hell. Wonderful blend.
