Draft at If It Ain't Dutch... Aroma has chewy coffee and burnt sugar. Dark and glossy. Foamy beige head. Sugary coffee flavour. Surprisingly light. Buoyant soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Interesting.

Woody, some red fruits and some classic barley wine. The bourbon could have been a little more noticeable.

330ml bottle, from the Jumbo I think. Poured a clear chestnut brown colour with a lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is boozy caramel. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, sweet toffee, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Black with a tall beige head. Big notes of bourbon, booze, chocolate, gooey toffee, oak, caramel, and light vanilla. Full bodied. Finish is boozy but not overwhelmingly so. More of the chocolate, bourbon and vanilla. This is nice though maybe lacking complexity.
