Bottle. This is not the same as the regular version, it is fully barrel aged and quite different. Pours a jet black color with a medium white head. A big bourbon nose, vanilla and chocolate. Roast, huge bourbon, oak, some sweet milky coffee and chocolate. Lovely BA brew.

Can from Drinkshop. Easy drinking with an interesting very piney hops character. Classic biscuity caramel maltiness, but only in the base. Tasty.
