16.9 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is fairly hot, with plenty of hot bourbon barrels, dark sugars, and molasses. Flavour has a bit of a hot, with some low-moderate quality bourbon barrels, dark sugars, and some roast. The barrel quality really drags this down, despite the base beer blend being good. It’s good, but ultimately subpar due to the barrels.

Dark brown, thin head. There's some nice umami on the nose, with barley wine influence, chocolate. A bit of carbonation here. A good toasty note, lots of barrel...not super refined but still good whiskey,

500mL bottle. Pours black with a beige head. Lots of bourbon and barley, brown bread on the nose. Flavour has rich barley, bourbon barrels, stale bread crusts. Bourbon is a bit too boozy on the finish. Overall very good.

Bottle. Pours a jet black hue with a medium creamy tan head that quickly dies to nothing. A big boozy nose, barrels galore. Rich, the barely wine dominates, soft huge barrels, huge powerful whiskey. Just wonderful. Layers of flavor.
