Bottle, at share, thanks to mansquito. Pours black without head. Bourbon, vanilla, an almost rum and coke thing in the nose, raisin, plum, dried fig, bourbon finish. Slightly oily body. Remarkably smooth for the strength. Excellent.

On tap at The Livery, pours a deep dark mahogany with a tiny beige head. Aroma is unsurprisingly intense, with heaps of bourbon barrel character dominating, with some underlying toffee and dark fruits that are mostly covered by the bourbon. Flavour is an intense bourbon bomb, showcasing those beautiful bourbon barrels, with plenty of vanilla, followed by dark fruits, molasses, and treacle. Very sweet, but the booze prevents it from becoming cloying. Over-the-top but a pleasure to drink. Lovely.

On tap at The Livery, pours a clear peachy amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out a pleasant fruity guava character - not much more to say. Flavour is on the drier side, with a crisp biscuity malt backbone paving way for a bright guava character that doesn't impart much sweetness. Bright and well-constructed. Solid.
