500 ml bottle in a trade with JStax. Pitch black color with lots of full fizzy head. A tad over carbonated. Aroma is roasted malt, licorice, dark fruit and oak.
Flavor is pretty much the same. Full body and what I look for in an imperial stout. The mouthfeel is slightly off because the carbonation level being so amplified. Flavor is very licorice dominate with hints of dark fruit, chocolate, and wet oak. Alcohol is almost totally hidden. Bourbon isn’t really found, mostly oak aftertaste. Overall still really good.
