Power tasting at Ryan's, bottle
Black oily colour, no head. Aroma of dark chocolate, spirit, some vanilla. Full bodied, sweet, the cacao is strong, dark chocolate, strong alcohol, some spices (cinnamon), roasted nuts, bitter almond.
Not fully cohesive, but good.

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2022 750ml (thx, Eric D. for picking this membership bottle for me!) @ Ryan's with Andrey and a gang. Appearance: very dark brown with no head. Aroma: sweet, vanilla, and bourbon. Taste: along the same lines with kinda weird notes, not sure whether it's coming from the barrel or one of the vanilla beans. Vanilla, chocolate, and bourbon aftertaste. Overall: pretty good, but it's not on the level where it should be for the membership-only bottle, considering the $230 membership cost that includes only 3 (f@ck!) bottles by default (hope it will be more in fact).

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2022 Poured from 750mL bottle. Black with minimal beige head. Vanilla, bourbon, molasses, balanced.

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2022 750mL bottle, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma brings out intense vanilla upfront, with a touch of bourbon on the underside. Flavour is full of decadent vanilla upfront, accentuated by the bourbon barrels and a little molasses. That’s a lot of complex vanilla beans. The barrels perfectly accentuate the vanilla. Excellent.

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2021 A deep dark stout with a very thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet chocolate malt with dark fruits, vanilla, alcohol warmth, light bourbon barrel notes, woody notes, very nice. In mouth, sweet chocolate malt with dark fruits, licorice, vanilla, alcohol warmth, light bourbon barrel notes, very nice. On tap at brewery.
