355ml bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Pours black, medium sized tan head. Unexpected but pleasant coconutty shades come into view alongside some herbal cola aspects, though it doesn't really bring to mind much of the original Bourbon County Stout in its flavour profile, with a low-lying bourbon presence and settled chocolate notes. Good to have tried, but perhaps one that was better fresh.
