<i> Draught </i> Black beer without head. Lots of vanilla, higher alcohols, whiskey obvious, sweetish, inviting nose but a bit cheesy. Vanilla, sweet chocolate and dark one behind it, pleasing taste, just finishes a bit flat. Well bodied, alcoholburn, no aftertaste except for the alcohol/whiskey flavour. Finally a pleasing beer from RB. Pity about the finish, but overall well worth trying - even if this probably is not a regular one on tap.

Very little light at the bottom of the glass, otherwise deep dark brown. Overly sweet with a very dominant caramelized bourbon and wood flavor, a very young beer with a lot of bourbon. However, this BA beer is a little different, there is heavy bourbon but it’s not offensive or distracting, it actually blends well with the rich dark chocolate flavors. Much better than the regular stout, but probably because the bourbon and wood flavors do a good job covering up the mediocrity of the stout.
