Dark brown. The aroma is dark fruit, barrel, very rich dark malt character. The malts are very rich on the palate, and the barrels are insane, lending a lot of depth and complexity, with subtle fruitiness. It's got a fair bit of alcohol but that's actually buried underneath of the malt. Blackstrap, whiskey goodness. Damn.

22oz @ Matt's (thx for the beer, man!) house. Appearance: pours like oil, very dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: lots of American oak, some sweetness. Taste: lots of American oak and charred barrel, quite thick and sweet. Overall: good one.

22 oz. bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is dense, with lots of dark malts, molasses, sugars, and bourbon barrels -- kind of jumbled. Flavour is extremely rich and intense, with lots of bourbon barrels, light smokiness, dark sugars, molasses, and some vanillin. Complex, rich, and well-integrated. Palate is very viscous, almost syrupy, but not cloyingly sweet at all despite leaning on the sweet side. Excellent as usual.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Near black with almost no beige head. Old musty wood, black strap molasses, some mild whiskey notes in the background. Decent. Barrel reminds me of something that's been sitting on an old wooden sail boat from the 1700s (not sure how else to explain that - goto a Maritime museum?).
