Intense, heavy and roasty with massive amounts of barrel, loads of vanilla beans, chocolate sauce, hints of coconut, cocoa and warming alcohol. Complex, super tasty and delicate slow sipper. Great.

Medium body, syrupy, boozy, quite hefty. Bourbon, chocolate, some coconut. A bit roastier than I remember from earlier batches but really rich and tasty. Excellent.
