appearance: Very dark, with some faint ruby highlights when held to light. Scant mocha head on the pour that mostly dissipates.
smell: Rich, decadent vanilla, molasses, some coconut. Familiar BCBS but maybe a notch richer than an already rich beer.
taste: Ditto on the taste. Rich chocolate, vanilla, dark fruits...freakin killer. Add in the bourbon spice of the Knob creek treatment and holy shit.

Pours a brown body, thick and black in the glass. Aromas are boozy as it warms, chocolate liquor and lightly metallic. Taste is bakers chocolate, bittersweet with tobacco and caramel, potent, bitter charred malt aftertaste.

Poured into a BC tulip. Dark in color but not opaque. Minimal tan head. Aromas of barrel, dark fruit and chocolate. Taste is fudgy with dark fruits, oak and bourbon. Delicious. Feel is slick and viscous. Overall, a fantastic BC variant.
