Bottle from Total Wine & More, W. Hollywood. Virtually opaque, inky dark brown, nice viscosity. Aroma is strong sweet donut frosting/sprinkles, bourbon. Taste is strong base slightly earthy, roasted stout, sweet donut, bourbon. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Donuts/sprinkles don't add that much except vague sweetness. More like a straight BBA stout. Good but not great.

500 ml shared by Tom! Aroma is well, traces of pineapple with soft char. The coconut is forward and does show some pineapple throughout. Then the softest traces of barrel. Mild spice hints in the finish. Very unique!!

2022, batch 1, shared by tfontana on 9/20/25.
Pours like syrup with no head.
Pineapple! Vanilla bourbon notes and maybe some mango rind. Round sugars and easygoing, old bourbon notes. Surprised there's this much fruit in the nose. No alcohol.
Oh damn, that's nice! The rich, thick but properly barrel-attenuated/aged texture really does work here, with a delightful bourbon and char barrel character balancing the sweet, toasty coconut and mango. Not tons of barrel but close to enough. Lingering tannin/oak and light bourbon spice. That texture is out of this world. Done like few else can do it.

Bottle from Total Wine & More, W. Hollywood. Inky, opaque black, viscous, syrup-like. Aroma is strong pineapple, coconut, mango. Taste is strong pineapple and coconut, base stout, late mild bourbon--nice balance. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, no alcohol, finish as taste. Different! Bought with trepidation but glad I did! Very nice. Barrel could have been more present but maybe good that it lets other aspects to shine.
