12 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out big brandied dark dried fruits, big bourbon barrels, molasses, and brown sugar. Flavour is rich and complex, very similar to classic Arctic Devil, with big dark dried fruits, massive bourbon barrels, brandy, toffee, caramel, and brown sugar. The booze is obvious but reasonably nicely into the barrel / spirit character. Pretty nice stuff, though maybe a bit rougher and boozier than I remember.
