Pours a deep amber brown color with a tan head. Aroma is malt, bourbon, oak, vanilla, some peated malt, caramel, and some somky earthiness. Flavor is malty, bourbon, vanilla, oak, caramel, cream, and a earthy alcohol finish.

Spectacular beer. Pours very dark with a soft off white froth-head. Tastes slightly of molasses. Strong and filling beer. I’m not a huge fan of the smell, but the taste is warm and wonderful, the two W’s of bourbon. Pick it up if you see it because it can be hard to find.

On draught @ The Party Source. Pours a dark copper color, small off white head. Definite nose of bourbon and sugar. Taste is sweet with hints of molasses, brown sugar and peat. Finishes rather smoky and smooth like a well made bourbon. Well done BBC.
