750ml bottle thanks to Darrel. Pours out an dark inky black color capped with a tight beige head. Aroma is a sweet shop melange of vanilla and chocolate, boozy barrel notes and rich roast grains. Taste adds more lactose notes, smoothing out the whole thing, lots of alcohol warmth, sweet, creamy, delicious.

Bottle from JayBeer13. Pours inky black, medium dark brown head, dissipates leaving nice residual and lacing. Aroma is a delicate balance of cocoa, vanilla, bourbon. Flavor is medium plus sweet, light plus bitter, a bit boozy but a really nice decadent milk chocolate, vanilla bourbon, hints of marachino cherries. Some tannic sharpness from the wood. Full body, rich creamy mouthfeel.
