Dark brown, no head. The aroma has a lot of vanilla, and on the palate you get a lot of alcohol, rich chocolate, cocoa, with a fair bit of sweetness, nice light bourbon.

Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, some nectary tones with mild citrus to it. Flavour is citrus, some nectar and mild herbal and a bit grainy and bitter tones to it.

Sweetish, roasty and intense with banana coconut chocolate cookies, syrup, cocoa and vanilla bourbony vibes. Okay, a bit heavy

Sweet, syrupy and caramely with some toffee, burnt brown sugar, coffee, vanilla, coconut, nutty notes and hints of oakiness. Quite intense and sweet. Perhaps a bit past its prime.

Dark brown. No head. On the nose, this has a rich, sugary depth on the nose. There's a light fruitiness, but this is all sugars. On the palate, it's thick, rich, with a ton of sugars. There's also, predictably, a metric assload of coconut, and some coffee. The bourbon seems to cut in and out; I think that's a function of my palate picking up the sugars. Very intense, refined, excellent.

Dark brown. No head. This one’s got some fruitiness, especially from the cognac barrel, and also the base. On the palate, it’s rich, fruity, the cognac is the dominant barrel on this. There’s a little bit of juicy blackberry acidity on it. There’s still a lot of sugars - orc lord isn’t the richest of their stuff - and those sugars help to keep things balanced. The bourbon is less pronounced here, lending just a subtle note, well sublimated to the cognac.

22oz (thx, Ben M. D.!) @ Ryan's shared with Josh.
Aroma: mix of coconut and coffee, chocolate, some American oak.
Taste: along the same lines; really bold, thick, rich, and sweet; another amazing integration of coffee and coconut from MT.
Overall: another example that makes me crying of the fact that MT ceased it's barrel program 😬😭❤️
