On tap at Optimism, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is loaded with rich bourbon barrels upfront, followed by considerable vanilla, and fairly low level roastiness. Flavour follows suit, with intense bourbon barrels and vanilla dominating upfront, somehow with the booze, with low roast. So much vanilla and bourbon. Lovely.

Dark brown. Thin head. Big vanilla, bourbon, rich toffee, light roast. Pretty good, complex tasty chocolate and vanilla dessert beer.
