Had on tap. Shimmering black pour with a thin brown cap that settles into a ring. Vanilla dampens the nose a bit compared to the original, still great vanilla and barrel interaction with especially the bourbon, get background elements of molasses, leather and char. Taste like the orignal still struggles to match the barrel's intensity, vanilla addition is faint here, dark fruit is better though. Feel slightly cooler with the vanilla addition so that is pleasant, barrel is large body with lighter for an imperial
