750 ml bottle. Aroma is vanilla, almond, chocolate. Flavor shows a lot of nuts. Chocolatey cacao nibs give bold chocolate. Thick , almost syrupy texture. Almost too sweet. ALMOST!!

Bottle from Lighthouse Liquors at Camp Tasting Finale. Opaque, inky black with nice viscosity, no head, no lacing. Aroma is well-balanced vanilla, nuts, cacao, caramel, bourbon. Taste is strong cacao, vanilla, caramel, bourbon, late nuts. Thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Excellent complexity, balance, strength.

750mL bottled 2021, shared by tfontana on 8/9/25.
Possibly clear, mahogany, little head.
Smells of cherry-vanilla, soft, sweet bourbon and earthy cacao. Not too much adjunct with good oak and drying biscuit. Not boozey. Rich and fruity with a rye spiciness and long chocolate.
A bit thinned out with paper and chocolate. Light pepper and a bit of sweet syrupy. Chocolatey and dried out. Just a bit watery and thin, which is odd. Nose is killer, though.

Pours black, no head. Scent is chocolate, coconut, mild bourbon. Taste is thick, sweet, coconut, chocolate, has an almost minty freshness ( no actual mint for sure) due to the coconut, preventing it from being to heavy and exhausting. Low carbo. Perhaps a bit too sweet , but certainly enjoyable !
