Bottle from a friend's cellar. Black pour with a brown, foamy head, surprisingly stiff for an older strong beer. Smell has slight bourbon at first sniff, some fruit leather, and a bit of semi-sweet chocolate. Taste is kind of a cola thingie, since it's still very fizzy. Slight lactic curl on my tongue, then more light chocolate.
