Bottle split in the hotel lobby, RBWG ’16, 03/02/16. Black with a decent tan covering. Nose is rich malt, spice, toffee fudge, bourbon fumes, light coconut. Taste comprises chocolate, rising bourbon fuel load, raisens, molasses, sweet malt. Full bodied, oily mouthfeel, warming alcohol and prominent bourbon in the close. Decent enough impy if a little sweet and bourbon heavy at times.

2013 bottle. It pours a lightly hazed dark amber color with a small off white head. The aroma is full with rich bread and fruit. Lots of raisin bread, bourbon, caramel, fig... pretty nice actually. The flavor is the same. Raisin bread, bourbon, fig, and caramel. The cardamom is there, but has faded pretty profusely. There’s a very light hint of roast and nuts near the finish that aids in the dryness. The mouthfeel isn’t overly alcoholic or syrupy. Pretty drinkable for what it is. I really liked this one. I imagine the age has helped this one.

Bottle courtesy of nuplastikk, thank you! Hazy deep golden amber color, white spider web head with good staying power. Aroma has orange and pineapple. Taste is bitter citrus, but there’s a very bitter and slightly papery component underlying it that detracts.
