Bottle from West Coast Liquor, Vancouver
Black colour, large beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and a touch of bourbon. It's full bodied and smooth, very little sweetness left; accent on roasted malts, salty chocolate and burnt sugars, with some bourbon.
Well constructed and elegant.

750mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Nose reveals plenty of bourbon barrels, light spiciness, and earthy toasted malt. Flavour is fairly chocolatey and barrel-heavy, with earthy cocoa powder, bourbon barrels, some spiciness, and moderate toasted malt. Cohesive and with reasonable depth; the barrels aren't the most complex, but it's well-made. Pretty damn solid.

Feb 12, 2022 (7/3/6/3/13=3.2): Poured from 750mL bottle. Near black with small beige head. Mild bourbon, fair bit of fruitiness, feint hint of metallic notes.
