500ml bottle pours out cola brown topped with a small tan head. Nose is sweet caramel toffee malts bourbon barrel goodness and some pit fruit. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts pit fruit bourbon barrel vanilla touch.

LCI, usual nice barrel forwardness same as every private press I've had so far. Coconut and marshmallow and and somewhat the vanilla in the finish, backseat bumps.
