Sample, thanks fonefan! Pitch black, no head. Aroma, flavour and mouthfeel is akin to homemade chocolate sauce with more than a tingle of bourbon. TBH I'd be over the moon if I'd be able to cook up this great chocolate sauce, and the bourbon seem fantastic. It's not even too sweet, and there is for sure too much alcohol here to use it up on vanilla ice cream for the kids. So, pretty awesome chocolate sauce it is. Would have love to try to non cacao-d beer though...
