Black in color with brown head around the rim. Heavy lacing on the glass. The aroma is of cashews, bourbon, and malt. I’m tasting cashews, bourbon, and sea salt. The mouth is thick and chewy.

On tap at ITap CoMo. Poured an opaque, jet-black color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left sticky patches of lace. It smelled of bourbon, oak, vanilla, dark chocolate and roasted malt. Big boozy flavor, but not over the top. Vanilla, rich chocolate and toffee taste.

Looks great, dark with mocha foam. Smells decadent, with cashew, vanilla, and bourbon. Taste follows, the vanilla and cashew is prominent, but clashes slightly with the barrel in my opinion, probably due to the choice of wheated bourbon barrels. Overall still very good.

Black, touch of brown head foam.

Jet puff marshmallow.

Marshmallow more than vanilla, less than a tinge of salt, if there's cashew I can't tell. More chocolate, bourbon and wood, please.

Thick but not Anchorage thick, needs bite.

Bottle pour- dark as night with quickly dissipating chocolate milk head leaving scattered lacing and a ring of bubbles. Nose is sweet milk chocolate and vanilla with hints of boozy barrel wood. Taste follows with a bit of nuttiness and slight alcohol creep on the finish. Definitely on the sweeter side.
