Waxed 500 ml. Aroma is bourbon, wood, toffee, coconut, vanilla, nutty. Pours murky brown with a one finger beige head that collapses into a ring pretty quickly. Taste is highly sweet, lightly acidic, with a light bitter finish. Nice beer.

2019 Vintage. 500 ml bottle. Pours black with moderate bubbly head that settles quickly. Aromas of stale coffee, light bourbon, and roasted malts. Maybe some cream. Flavors follow with the addition of coconuts which liven things up. Hot, acidic, and unbalanced in the finish. Maybe not aging or stored well.

Vintage 2020. 500 ml bottle. Pours black with moderate tan head. Aromas of chocolate nougat, sweet thick bourbon, dark caramel, oak and slick roasted malts. Flavors of follow same but bourbon is really present and significantly thinning. Definite alcohol and somewhat harsh. Maybe needs to cellar. Expensive.

Bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver
Black colour with almost no head. Nice notes of chocolate, moderately sweet, it has strong bourbon character; the spirit is very evident, in the aroma and flavour.
