355ml can. Jet black colour with average, frothy, slowly diminishing, minimally lacing, dark brown head. BA supported, roasty and chocolately, dark malty, minimally fruity aroma, notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, hints of dates, some Bourbon, vanilla, treacle. Taste is sweet, chocolately and roasty, dark malty, caramel malty, fruity and slightly alcoholic, bitter hoppy counterpart, notes of caramel, cocoa, treacle, dates, BA notes of Bourbon, a weak touch of macadamia, cinnamon; warming, alcoholic finish.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, cloying, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Quite sweet, rich and intense - nice sipper.

Can from trade with Steve! Opaque, inky black with nice viscosity, thin head, no lacing. Aroma is nice bourbon, malt, mild dark fruit, mild spice. Taste is sweet malt, mellow bourbon, later chocolate and dark fruit. Macadamia nut in finish? Thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation. Bourbon could be a little bit stronger in the mix (I think they overweighted mixing in the un-aged beer) and dark fruit and Macadamia a bit understated, but quite good nonetheless.
