Tasting at Matt's, bottle
Black colour, no head. Strong aroma of chocolate and coconut. Full bodied, very sweet, it's like biting in a coconut/chocolate bar, plus the hot alcohol, the bourbon; caramel sauce, roasted nuts; initially it tasted a bit too roasted, but then it goes away.
Excellent.

750ml shared with Phill and the gang @ Matt's (thx for the beer, man!) new place. Appearance: almost black with a weak dark brown head. Aroma: sweet, loads of (over)toasted coconut, a bit boozy. Taste: along the same lines, moderately to highly sweet. Overall: nice body and mouthfeel, but it's another example of coconut over-toasting by Structures.

Pours black. Aroma has a ton of toasted coconut with chocolate and liquor. Flavour has chocolate, coconut, vanilla, and bourbon. Boozy warmth on the finish. Heavy-handed but good.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Very dark brown with no head. Tons of toasted coconut, quite oily, bourbon quality is mostly hidden by the coconut aside from the booze hit at the end. Tasty, but a bit unbalanced.

750mL bottle, pours jet black with a tiny head and some chunks of coconut floating on top. Nose is full of elegant bourbon barrels, lots of toasted coconut, more coconut, and indeed more coconut. Flavour is ridiculously intense on the coconut, with oodles of toasted coconut, some coconut oil, and rounded out nicely by the bourbon barrels. Extreme but not brutal at all, with a really great barrel character. Excellent.
