500ml bottle, shared by DCLawyer. Thanks Jason! Poured a nearly pitch black color, virtually totally opaque except for around the edges of the glass. Very small tan head. Aroma was a ton of roasted malts, bitter, dark chocolate and some coconut. Flavor was light vanilla wood, with lots of bitter chocolate in this one. Bitter finish.

50cl bottle pours a murky black with some spitty head. Nose has malt, molasses, roast, some coffee grounds but lots and lots of coconut. Flavor is the same, sweet malts and nougat and molasses, but just tons of coconut. On the verge of a hand lotion kind of thing. Full bodied, sweet and sticky. If you like a coconut bomb, then get this. To me, it's imbalanced.

500 ml bottle poured into a tulip. Dark brownish black with quick fading light tan head, fizzy soda-like carbonation. Aromas of whiskey, coconut, cocoa, caramel, oak, a little roasted coffee. Tastes of whiskey, coconut, caramel, dark chocolate and cocoa, subtle coffee. Bourbon seems to mask most of the coffee. Medium-full body with a dry finish. Pretty good, probably my favorite of their barrel aged Gold Cups.
