22 oz bottle. Aroma is bold Weller bourbon, raisins and prune. Flavor shows a rich malt Barley wine base. Richest of dark fruits. Prune, raisin and sticky toffee. Hints of tobacco. Crazy amount of malt depth!

Cheers to MadMitch. Delicious stuff. Rich and decadent, ample dark stewed fruits, toffee, leather, bourbon, fruit leather, modest booze, fruitcake, toasted honey, a nip of vanilla, mincemeat. A small dose is plenty, such is the depth and heft here.

22 oz. bottle, pours jet black, almost no head. Nose has a decadent mix of coconut, light cinnamon, some cocoa nibs, and big bourbon notes. Flavour is extremely rich, with intense coconut upfront, followed by cocoa nibs, light vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon—then the bourbon enters the scene and rounds things out beautifully. Rich, rounded, big beautiful beer.

Dark brown. No head. There's a nice coconut and vanilla aroma, big cocoa bitterness. Not much cinnamon, light vanilla. Soft body. Big, with bourbon in the finish, the cinnamon is well-balanced here. Excellent.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Very dark brown with minimal beige head. Gentle coconut, cinnamon, and vanilla, with feint cacao nib backing. Enjoyable, but likely very overpriced.

Bottle.
A- Black color, opaque liquid, brown head.
A- Oak, whisky, chocolate.
F- Oak, booze, green apple.
T- Full body, thick texture, average carbonation, tangy finish.
O- Afraid this was infected and a bad bottle. Wonder if Tavour had any idea or others got bad bottles. Maybe it was the age or storage, not sure, but not getting all the great notes others seem to taste which is a massive bummer considering the price. But not totally undrinkable.

CBJ Tasting. Bottle. Opaque cola brown. Thin tan head. Aroma has sweet booze and dark fruits. Peripheral sourness. Flavourwise it's enveloping - dark fruit with spur edge and booze. Thick. Oily. Soft-average carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Noice.

Tasting at CBJ, thanks to me. Near opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head, doesn't last. Smooth light palate, modest fine carbonation. Fine for this style. Smooth malts, a little chocolate and dark toffee. Massive bourbon but smooth. Bourbon soaked dark fruits. Mild bourbon spice. Smooth finish. Simple but sumptuous. The bourbon delivery is spot on.
