This is a bit dark. There's a fair bit of alcohol, coffee and vanilla. It's got a lot of bourbon in there, too. This has a full body, maybe start getting thin and boozy.

500mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of bourbon, followed by vanilla, molasses, and coffee. Flavour is rich and complex, with lots of bourbon barrels, followed by vanilla, molasses, coffee and caramel. The addition of coffee is really lovely and combines well with the bourbon. Excellent.
