0.33 l bottle from 'Ace Drinks', bottled in October 2020. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a large, dense, stable, light brown head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of vanilla, caramel fudge, milk chocolate and traces of bourbon. Rather sweet, malty, gently roasty taste of cocoa, coffee, vanilla, caramel fudge and light bourbon, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter, a little powdery and slightly earthy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Solid Imperial Stout, very sweet but nicely thick and creamy. The bourbon barrel is hardly detectable and it's a little too effervescent but, all in all, it's a pleasant sipper.
