Tasting at Ryan's, bottle
Black colour, no head. Strong aroma of chocolate and vanilla, marshmellow, and alcohol. Full bodied; great chocolate and cacao flavour, burnt sugar, loads of vanilla, winter spice.
It's excellent, but the alcohol is too much, too evident.

Poured from 500mL bottle (11.5% abv, aged for 18 months). Black with small beige head. Rye, dark fruit, touch of chocolate. Decent.

500ml (thx, Brian C.!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: almost black with a beige head. Aroma: sweet, American oak, some bourbon, dark fruits, roasted lenses. Taste: along the same lines, moderately sweet and roasty. Overall: good one.
