Caveat: I am a bourbon lover... Unbelievably smooth mouth feel, opaque black with a toffee foam head, vanilla nose with rich bourbon on the palate. Dry finish. Going out for a case tomorrow.

Bottle, courtesy of deanso, @Dean Sticky Floor Tasting 2. This does not exiist.. remember that.. Pours a pitch black beer with a small beige head. Aroma is bourbon barrel, ashes and some touches of vanilla. Flavour is very sweet, full bodied. Flavors of booze and bourbon oak are well balanced and incredibly smooth in the mouthfeel. Great beer!

Pours black with a dark tan head.
Nose shows coconut, oak, roasted malt, liquorice, chocolate liqueur. Lovely.
More coconut and oak as flavours but with the roasted malt more prominent.
Very low carbonation. Body feels a bit watery.
