Bottle at home, picked up from a bottle shop in Newry, 18/06/23. Deep mahogany brown with a good sized lasting khaki head. Nose is fruit cake mix, caramel, dates, raisins, prunes, dark malts, modest bourbon oak. Taste comprises fruit cake, toffee, brown sugar dusting, dates, figs, mellow bourbon kiss. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with mellow bourbon and a balanced rising boost. Solid old skool leaning BW with just a subtle note of barrel.

On tap at Station 1280, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of whiskey barrels, oak chops, and medium roast. Flavour is like a strong dry stout, with additional sugar and whiskey. Medium roast, sugary, whiskey-ish finish.

On tap at Mikkeller at Morebeer, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out plenty of roasted barley, fairly subdued whiskey barrels, and a touch of cocoa. Flavour sort of reminds me of a mega-amped up imperial dry stout, with tons of whiskey and roasted malt. Boozy, whiskey-dominated and roasty, with a long dry finish. Dry, like an Irish dry stout on steroids, with plenty of barrel. Excellent.

Black with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have a sweet malt base and sweet whiskey too. Light roasted bitterness but not especially bitter in general.

Black with dark creamy head. Aroma of dark malts and sweet whiskey but also some dried prunes too. Nice roasted bitterness but with some sweet elements for balance.

Draught, 8.8% at Craft and Draft. Salt liquorice aroma. Black colour. Very small dark brown head. Good roasted flavour, vanilla and whiskey. A little sweetness, but by no means too sweet. Roasted coffee aftertaste.

Pours black, scent is roasty, soy, hidden BBA. Taste is light, bit roasty, rather than the bittersweet side. Coffee. Barrel is very lost. Meh.

Very dark brown with lasting head. Aroma of malts and dried fruits. Surprisingly bitter, quite roasted. Bourbon is there but fairly subtle.
