Pours an oily, night black color with a small beige head, receeding immediately to a small ring of lacing.

Smells of toasted coconut, spicy licorice and warm oak. The nose isn‘t too pungent in itself with just a hint of vanilla hovering atop.

Drinks utmost thick, oily with a decadent, smooth mouthfeel. The body on this is huge, heavy and complex.

Tastes of sweet milk chocolate, together with toasted, sweet coconut and a lighter, spicy, warming barrel appearance. Has an almost extreme oiliness to it, quite possibly from the prominent, flowery coconut in this, resulting into a decadent smoothness with loads of whipped cream. Finishes with even more chocolate covered spices, heavier on the licorice than on the barrel, leaving a longer lasting milk chocolate and licorice aftertaste on the palate.

Yepp, this is sweet and decadent. Its standout aspect is its supersmooth, silk mouthfeel, highlighting unfortunately nothing in particular. The coconut is well integrated in this, while the bourbon barrel only plays a minor part, wasting a lot of potential to overcome the simple number of adjuncts in this, potentially creating a truly complex stout.

Had after having the non-ba version. Yeah, the barrel helped! Instead of a sugary finish, now there is a sweet and booze concoction. The barrel isn't complex but it smooths out the balance here, allowing the coconut, vanilla and chocolate to shine without any getting too strong. Smell really shows this off, where taste the cumulative sweetness does start to get on the radar. Still a very good dessert stout
