375mL bottle, pours jet black with almost no head. Aroma is decadent and complex, with intense vanilla beans, a very elegant bourbon character, and some wonderful dark sugars. Flavour is just as elegant and complex, with an absolutely magnificent bourbon barrel character, complemented by succulent vanilla character, and moderately attenuated dark sugars on the finish. Top-notch bourbon, top-notch vanilla, a stellar base beer -- yeah, this is sublime.
