4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Black pour, small collar of cream head. Aroma of thick, buttery cocoa and coffee, subtle roast, amarone, oak, bourbon and the ensuing vanilla from the barrels. Very nice aroma indeed. Taste has a small roast-profile with lots of vanilla and buttery cocoa as well. It feels very soft and velvety. It is nicely rounded and well-managed. Big body, long duration, low carbonation. Very nice.

Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours very dark with mocha head. The aroma is rich chocolate, molasses, smooth bourbon, caramel covered oak, toffee, more chocolate and caramel as well as a bit of heat at the end of the draw. Wow! I can nose this stuff all day. The taste is smooth and a bit thin with sweet notes of molasses, chocolate, spicy oak, roasty to burnt malts, smooth sweet bourbon and then a mildly drying malt astringency. Very nice.

25cl bottle. Pours a pitch black body with a small wispy light brown head. Big bourbon nose with tons of roast, moderate alcohol. This is roasty as hell. Vanilla, char, and a touch of rubbing alcohol as well. Restrained booziness on the flavor, lots of vanilla and roast with less bourbon flavor than expected. Some dark fruits and chocolate. Finishes a bit hot. Medium to full bodied, but not sticky of cloying at all with nice soft carbonation. A pretty nice effort here.
