Aged in bourbon & rum barrels for 12 months. We then conditioned it on Vietnamese coffee, Vietnamese cocoa nibs, Madagascar vanilla beans & double coconut. We get notes of molasses, macaroons & marshmallow with some light barrel tannins.

The beer pours a nice brown head that is very little and dissipates fairly quickly but seems to have a nice creamy texture to it. The beer itself is a dark chocolate brown that is more brown than it is black. The texture appears to have a nice syrup look to it.
The smell is fairly indulgent. It has a good mixed toasted coconut and chocolate note that comes out in front. It is then followed by a moderate bourbon note. The coffee is bitter and chocolatey that flows through the whole thing before a light and sugary sweet rum note in the finish.
The taste is really, really good. The toasted coconut is a bit more mute and comes off a little bit like toasted marshmallows but is not any less toasted than in the smell. The bourbon is a bit more upfront and the rum comes out stronger in the finish. The coffee is nice and bitter with the cocoa nibs adding a bit of sweetness in the finish.
The feel is good. It has as heavy and syrupy body with very little carbonation. It has a sticky finish to it.
Overall, this is a pretty indulgent beer worth getting.
