500 ml bottle from Kane Direct, 2021 release, 1/8/22. Dark brown color, thin head. Dark chocolate and hazelnut heavy aroma, like a less sweet Nutella. Roasty and peanut skin notes come through underneath. Mike bourbon / wood Flavor is much sweeter, chocolate and vanilla with the nuttiness and nut skins more toned down than the nose would have suggested. The bourbon barrel shows up towards the finish and sticks around for a lengthy, slightly hot close. Lots of flavor overall, but I think the aroma is a little more exciting than the taste for me. Rich and flavorful stuff overall though.
