I Draught /I Dense dark-beige head, fed by fine, lively carbonated jet-black beer; very lacey. Smelling quite sweet, just a bit of smoke, quite roasted. But cloying sweet seems to threaten, with vanilla in force and Bourbon, of course. Sweet, vanilla², sweet chocolate, hint of musk, tobacco. And lots of roast, caramelized. Bar of chocolate with a shot of Bourbon. Warming up, a hint of nutmeg. Very well-bodied, ultra long-lasting flavours, alcoholheat. Somehow, I expected more from this. The Bourbon here lends more sweetness, than it gives complexity.
