Save this... save this for a long time. It's not really beer so much as a nose clearing liquer that may or may not have originated from beer-making ingredients. It's big, it's potent, and it's not easy sipping. It pours like syrup, and definitely looks nothing like this. Take a waft... it hits you like those fight scenes in the old Batman show. The flavors are delicious though: bourbon, vanilla, some cereal-like flavors, and then deep dark grain at the end. I find that combination to be mighty tasty; but, because it's such a 'young' beer, the ABV comes roaring through and weighs you down like a wet blanket. I could barely get through a third of this.
I would say give this at least two years of downtime before you touch it; although, many more would probably be better. By then you should be able to finish at least a half-glass of this, and it'll likely be phenomenal.
