22oz (thx, Brian S.!) @ Phill's shared with Alex.
Aroma: amazing mix of American oak and chocolate, moderately sweet, bold.
Taste: brown sugar bomb, a toasted barrel, moderately thick, some boozy notes.
Overall: nice one, but kinda on the thinner side 🙂

Dark brown. No head. That's rich, umami, extra chocolate, light vanillins, bourbon. Rich dark malts, cacao, a flurry of bourbon character, more umami...I've had some really high end soy sauce in Japan, and this goes in that direction. There's a good vinous note, just that little bit of acidity that rounds out the richness. The highest form of blender's art.

22 oz. bottle, pours jet black, no head. Aroma is super complex in terms of the barrel expression, with lots of wood, whiskey, and bourbon. Flavour is super cohesive and complex, with intense dark sugars, lots of wood, smooth whiskey, some bourbon, and a touch of vanilla. Ridiculously complex, cohesive, and smooth. Beautiful.

Intense, heavy with barrel notes, some thickness, hints of roastiness, thick chocolate sauce sweetish syrup and earthiness, hints of cocoa and rye. Bottom half of the bottle was pure syrup.
