22oz bottle, thanks MrChopin! Poured a red/amber color with a off-white, wispy head. Aroma is sweet malts, with penty of bourbon notes, some chocolate notes, and a touch of dried fruits. Alcohol is pretty well masked in this particular one.

Clear reddish brown colour, off-white head. Aroma of molasses, soy sauce, vanilla, bourbon, soaked prunes, caramel and burned sugar. Sweet flavour, light bitterness, vanilla, molasses and dried fruits. Finish molasses, coconut and bourbon.
Very nice brew.

Bottle at the source. Beautiful deep ruby amber color, large dense beige head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of vanilla, burnt caramel, prunes, figs. Taste is sweet, rich, syrupy dark fruits and toasted caramel. Very nice.
