Tap at brewery. Oaky bourbon and vanilla aroma. Near black with a small tan head, light lacing. Bourbon, oak, sweet vanilla flavor. Full creamy body. Very smooth and silky, alcohol is very well hidden despite the big bourbon flavor. I’d take this over Dark Lord any day.

Very sweet bourbon, vanilla, chocolate malt, and moderately bitter hay and alcohola flaovr. Still very sweet but still very nice.
