Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a near clear deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up malts, malty plum date fig like fruity esters, faint toffee and then some booze into the end of the draw. The taste delivers sweet slick rich integrated maltiness blended toffee nuanced brown sugar stewed plums, dates and figs. Damn. Great sipper that will only improve with some cellar time.

Bottle. Pours black with slight amber hue and no head whatsoever. Aroma has toffee and a deep bourbon with oak and a hint of vanilla underlying. Flavor has caramel and sweet dark grains with a rich bourbon and some toffee coming through.

On tap at More - Villa Park, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is rich, with big bourbon barrels, moderate roast, toffee, and brown sugar. Flavour is extremely sweet, syrupy, and yet rough due to the booze; there�s a harsh roastiness to it, with molasses, and plenty of hot bourbon. It�s not all that well-integrated. Fun experiment but this isn�t that refined.
