22 oz. bottle, pours jet black with a small dark brown head. Aroma is full of rich bourbon barrels, plenty of vanillin, and some molasses. Flavour is wonderfully rich, showcasing the beautiful bourbon barrels, molasses, and a touch of vanilla. The base beer is of course wonderful, and the barrels really make it shine. Wonderful.

22oz bottle. Pours black with a small brown head. Tons of bourbon, roasted malts, and burnt dark sugars on the nose. Flavour is rich and complex, lots of boozy bourbon, some woody barrels, and a sweetness similar to pomegranate molasses. Rich and complex, great barrel character. Fantastic.

22 oz. bottle, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is full of dark roast coffee, a touch of cinnamon, and plenty of bourbon barrels. Flavour is full of intense bourbon barrels, some spicy cinnamon, dry coffee, and a hint of nuts that seem to dry this out. Rich barrels, with just enough cinnamon. Not totally convinced of the cohesion here though, as the nuts seem to impart a touch of bitter astringency. Very good though overall.

22oz bottle. Pours black with a tan head. Tons of bourbon, toasty malts, cinnamon, and nuts on the nose. Flavour has a ton of bourbon barrels up front, good roast, and roasted coffee. The other adjuncts don't contribute much, muddling a bit. The bourbon is pretty aggressive, but I'm there for it.
