Pours opaque black, head slowly fades to nothing.
Chocolate blast, followed by Starbucks, Reeses, bourbon
Taste is chocolate, kahlua, vanilla ice cream, sweet bourbon notes as the others fade. Mocha notes linger at the end.
Mouthfeel is on the thicker side, smooth carbonation. Very mild warmth at the back of the throat.
Overall, this is a really enjoyable bottle, bourbon notes are light but provide a nice balance to the chocolate and vanilla notes. No single part overpowers. Thanks again @ovaltine, I really dig this bottle.

On draft at Bare Hands. Snifter with a bare dusting of head. Mild coffee and vanilla accenting the base Russian imperial. The bourbon barrel is apparent but not a standout. In fact, nothing here is quite as impressive as I remember the original Ride the Bride being, despite my general preference for barrel ageing.
