750ml (thx, Brent!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: very dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: American oak, bold, a bit sweet, some meaty notes. Taste: along the same lines, bold, American oak, quite sticky and bold, moderately to high sweet. Couldn't detect any coconut. Overall: good one.

Poured from 750mL bottle (July 2021). Very dark brown with very minimal tan head. Woody bourbon, chocolate, not really picking up coconut, slight alcohol harshness, decent, but room for improvement.

Dark brown. No head. This has a mellow barrel character and a rich, burnt toffee, dark chocolate aroma. On the palate, it's got a dark fruit character, like a really minerally dark chocolate. The barrel is somewhat mellow. A little coconut comes through in the end, too. Solid.

750mL bottle, pours jet black with a small light brown head. Nose is complex, with plenty of bourbon barrels, light roast, moderate coconut, and a bit of harsh booze (is that the Jim Beam?). Flavour has a fairly complex but somewhat harsh bourbon barrels -- it might be confirmation bias, but I think the Jim Beam is harming this a bit. There's also a touch of coconut in there, but this is mostly a function of the barrels. A bit harsh but it's pleasant enough.
