Pint can pours with a dark mahogany to chocolate colored body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up chocolate blending with well integrated and smooth bourbon and toffee and a bit of coconut. The taste delivers similar notes as everything is well integrated and slightly difficult to distinguish. I get chocolate and bourbon as well as a soft thin sherry sensation. To midway I get additional notes of toffee, coconut and a dash of marshmallow. This begins a little thin and hint at it being crushable. That doesn't last as the richness and deep really ramps up creating a try enjoyable sipper.
