Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a small dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of chocolate notes with some light bourbon notes with liquorice and residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of chocolate notes with some faint bourbon notes and liquorice with residual sugar notes and light metallic notes. Body is below average and good carbonation. OK BA stout but below standards for the style.
