Black brown pour from bottle with beige decent sized head. Aroma is malty, nutty and bourbon notes. Bitter chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, a bit of a burn - alot going on but really good.

Interesting beer. Poured brown smallish head but the aroma and taste was a strange melange of fruitness, yeast and malts. Worth trying.
