330ml can. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of bourbon, chocolate, dates. Taste is very rich, sweet, bourbon and date syrup dominate, chocolate, oak, some roast, alcohol warmth. Full bodied, smooth, syrupy. Bit too sweet for me, but it's as described.

Deep brown with a small, wispy head. Big notes of chewy toffee, buttery maple, chocolate, malt, a hint of roasted notes. Full bodied. Very sweet. This is delicious. I wasn’t sure going in if this would be a sweet mess or not and while it is very sweet it is a dream.

Hand pumped at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours almost black, with irregular light brown foam. Aroma is medium coffee and a little chocolate and malty. Body is average, with virtually no carbonation. Taste is moderately roasted, with a hint of sweetness. Final is fairly dry.
