Bottle, 11%. Distinct vanilla aroma, bourbon barrel. Almost black colour. Oily mouthfeel, rather sugary. The flavour is nicely sweet with lots of vanilla. Late barley bitterness. --- Same version, I think, 2 years later. The aroma still has a lot of vanilla, cigarbox. Very low carbonation, almost flat. Sweetish flavour, good vanilla note. Not boozy in spite of its strength. Would have liked a bit more carbonation.

275 ml 2007 BB 14.11.2012 from cgarvieuk! Nose is heavenly; licorice, chocolate, and light oak. Black with rusty brown edges and a total lack of carbonation. Flavor is chocolate, licorice, a hint af fruity cherries, and a woody oak balance. Nice syrupy body and a a tiny bit of alcohol in the finish. Great stuff! Craig do you have more you can send my way when my friends come back again?
