500mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out some gentle habanero pepper, cocoa nibs, some vanilla and cinnamon, and tempered barrel. Flavour is rather murky and adjunct-laden, with lots of cocoa nibs, a touch of tart habanero, vanilla, and bourbon. The integration of flavours is not all that great, but it's decent enough. The complexity level is pretty low for such a beer. Not bad, but as with all of Reverence BIB beers, this isn't too impressive.
