Dark brown colour, no head. Aroma of dark sugars, bourbon, molasses. Full bodied, sweet, with low carbonation, which boosts the thickness; enough mlt depth, some tofee, dark caramel, bourbon, vanilla, and an interesting note of dark berries and berry jam (not sour); warming alcohol, but it's well hidden.
Excellent.

500ml (thx, Charles S.!) shared with Alex @ home. Appearance: very dark brown with a quickly dissipating beige head. Aroma: American oak, sweetness, dark fruits, some caramel. Taste: along the same lines with an addition of some brown sugars. A bit boozy, but it's a pleasant kick. Overall: nice one.
