Opened a 2012 version on September 25th for anniversary. I love how the Bourbon scaled back some of the sweetness you encounter with the base Dark Lord. 6 years of age on the bottle and it held up extremely well.

Tasted from 2016 bottle. Thick and chewy. Not overly Bourbon on taste but definitely on the nose along with caramel, molasses, vanilla, coffee, cocoa. Incredible BA stout.
