On tap at Hidden Springs, pours black with almost no head. Aroma is dominated by the bourbon barrel upfront, with traces of cocoa, vanilla and a hint of coconut in back. Flavour is exceedingly sweet, with intense dark sugars, vanilla, light coconut, and big bourbon notes. Way too sweet, definitely in cloying territory, despite the complexity being pretty high. You gotta dial down the residual sugars here big time. A tasty diabetes bomb drinkable in tiny amounts.
