22oz bottle (~10 cases bottled). Poured a dark brown, almost black color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of wood/oak, some earth, a little smoky / charred wood, and some chocolate. Tastes of wood, whiskey, vanilla, some brown sugary sweetness, and some dark fruits. Body a tad on the thin side with the alcohol content hidden.

Bottle. Backlog. Pours black with brown head. Nose/taste of light bourbon, roasted chocolate malt, vanilla, mocha and stale coffee. Finishes with some bourbon-like alcohol. Medium body.

Bottle thanks to Dallas. Had right after number 16. Pours a pure black color with a small white head. A sweet nose of cocoa and roast, sweet coffee. The flavor is a mix of sweet cocoa and coffee with big bourbon notes, woody, a bit of chocolate. Very good and quite drinkable.
