Bottle, mooch tasting, courtesy of the gang
Dark brown colour. Strong aroma of alcohol; glue, cacao. Full bodied, with just minimal residual sweetness; cacao drink with spirit; strong but unbalanced, quite harsh, boozy.

750ml @ Phill's. Appearance: brown with a beige head. Aroma: medicinal shitty bourbon (thx, for using Jim Beam) kinda grassy, some green apples. Taste: along the same lines with the addition of wood notes, chocolatey aftertaste, low to moderately sweet. Overall: base beer was probably very nice, so I am not sure why someone would come up with an idea to put it into the shitty Jim Beam barrel to ruin everything.

Dark brown. Thin, pale head. The aroma has sort of a heavy Jim Beam thing, some fudgey chocolate. On the palate, it's kind of harsh, a bit thin, maybe some chocolate. A splash of alcohol. A bit out of balance, definitely a bit harsh and a lot muddled.

750mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is vile, with tons of nail polish remover (i.e., very shitty bourbon), wood glue, and hot alcohol. Flavour is full of very bad bourbon, nail polish remover, wood glue, and floral notes. The base beer seems OK, but it's ruined by the really low-quality bourbon. Hot, perfumey finish. Not pleasant.

Poured from 750mL bottle (thanks Derek & JF). Near black with small beige head. Cheap bourbon, wood glue, a bit thin, not great. The bourbon ruins it.
