500 ml shared by Tom! Aroma is mild coffee, light chocolate and a touch of dough like malt. Flavor follows. Maybe a trace of sugar. Alcohol is hidden. Body is full and thick. A nice stout.

2023 bottle shared by tfontana on 9/20/25.
Dark, clear, mega-viscous, no head.
Kind of smells like pastry flour, donut but there's definite, albeit not huge bourbon. Lightly sweet, rich, with caramel and vanilla. Some cherry in there, too. Easygoing, well-aged, no booze. No weirdness going on from the donuts.
Cherry, vanilla, pastry flour and easygoing, sweet bourbon. Light fudge and dark chocolate. This could be a lot worse for being brewed with donuts. Kind of just feels like a normal bourbon barrel impy. And it's soft, chewy, not boozey or too sweet. Donuts maybe cut the usual syrupy, thick BL texture a bit.

Bottle from Total Wine & More, W. Hollywood. Virtually opaque, inky dark brown, nice viscosity. Aroma is strong sweet donut frosting/sprinkles, bourbon. Taste is strong base slightly earthy, roasted stout, sweet donut, bourbon. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Donuts/sprinkles don't add that much except vague sweetness. More like a straight BBA stout. Good but not great.

Dark brown, no head. There's some fruitiness on the nose, a decent roastiness to it. There's a lot of sweetness on the palate - yeah, it's donut and sprinkles - with alcohol, bourbon, chocolate and the Bottle Logicy type of things.

Poured from 500mL bottle (2023 vintage; batch 001). Very dark brown with minimal tan head. Bourbon, doughnuts, feint chocolate backing. Typical weird Bottle Logic success.

Thx, Brian!
Sweet, bold, fruity, sprinkles. Taste is along the same lines, moderately sweet, cake (oh well, donutes) notes. Pleasant.
