Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to Wingman. Near opaque dark brown beer, no real head. Smooth palate, a slight viscosity, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Good dark chocolate malts, slightly tangy, a little bitter dark chocolate. Savoury over ripe bourbon soaked fruits. A little alcohol spice on the semi dry finish. Flavoursome.

Bottle. Shared with Andrew. Pours inky black, minimal head or lacing. Aroma is strong, molasses, hints of anise, dates, vanilla, cocoa, bourbon, tobacco. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter. Full body. Too much anise for me, but still good of course.
