L: thick black pour creates a thinner tan head
S: bourbon, coffee, vanilla are obvious; dark chocolate, oak, earthy hops in the nose as well
T: boozy yet smooth; loads of complexity: dark chocolate, boozy bourbon, oak, vanilla, coffee, tobacco, leather, earthy hops
F: full body, creamy & smooth, sweet but the booze helps to cut it
O: very good Big Hugs variant! Glad to try it!

Wanted to try Big Hugs for a long time.
Pours big stout looking. Thick with a bit of motor oil sheen.
Aroma is chocolate syrup. Hints of coffee and barrel.
Big chocolate notes. Coffee and gentle bourbon and vanilla notes.
