3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20Was served it @ Harvest. Ran out very quickly. Pours a syrupy charcoal deep dark brown with a quickly diminishing trim khaki-esque head. Smells straightaway of Swiss Miss, nutmeg, whiskey, prunes, cinnamon and chocolate malt. Tastes of cocoa powder/Swiss Miss hot chocolate packets, raisins, Dutched chocolate, matured oak, spices and currant syrup. Was quite treacly on the palate. Overall enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours very dark with nice lacing around the rim. The aroma os a light sweet bourbon. The taste is very nice and smooth, the heat hits you in the middle and warms you. Very nice.

Snifter pour. Aroma is big time barrel notes. Bourbon galore, with some dark chocolate, some earthiness, and dirty leaves. Flavor matches, with a nice vanilla and bourbon flavor on top of chocolate and dirt. Pretty interesting.

Bottle shared by someone during RBWG-JAX. Thanks! Black pour with a small tan head. The aroma shows nice barrel, touches of fudge, that goes well with the coffee, dark roasted malts, spice, and plenty of sweetness resembling brown sugar, molasses, etc. The flavor follows suit. Tasty stuff, but I don’t see the crazy over HF like some do.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled sample via and shared with oakbluff. Near black in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas are of coffee, molasses, booze, and wintergreen. Flavors are pretty much what you’d expect, with elements of coffee, dark chocolate, caramel, bourbon, and a bit of wet stones on the finish. Heavy bodied in a good way. Solid overall.
