Bottle shared at CBJ - cheers to Dave. Pours rich brown with a slight, creamy beige head. Medium sweet flavour with creamy semi-dark mats, some toffee and butterscotch, booze, vanilla. Full bodied, oily, with fine carbonation. Warming finish. Decent.

Bottle thanks to Wingman. Near clear brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head, short lived. Smooth light palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Sweet dark chocolate, good sweet bourbon soaked fruits. Tidy, basic in it's flavour profile but utterly solid.

500ml (thx, Kevin G.!) @ Ryan's shared with Brian. Appearance: very dark brown with some beige head. Aroma: loads of vanilla, nice American oak, some dark chocolate. Quite sophisticated. Taste: moderately sweet and thick, lots of vanilla, some chocolate, earthiness from vanilla beans notes, brown sugars. I would prefer this one to be more smooth and silky. Overall: it's good, but IMHO it's still not worth the hype.
