2cl bottle pour at Kulminator, pours black, no head. Nose is ridiculously intense, with hot bourbon, booze, and a little soy sauce. Flavour is extremely boozy, with soy sauce, hot bourbon, booze, and more booze. Harsh, hot and not refined at all. Not the worst high ABV experiment but it's not really drinkable.

Bottle pours out cola brown no head. Nose is fire smoke booze barrel sweet caramel. Taste is more of the big booze smoke barrel. The best of the batch....

5cl snifter from bottle at Kulminator, Antwerp - Jet black, no head. Heady boozy anise nose, heavy on the booze and liquorice. Surprisingly thin. Good to say I've tried, but nothing to scream fun.

Peaty, sweet and alcoholic. Turned into some sort of weird liqueur-beer-whisky hybrid. Fun, for once. No beer, no rating.

Craft Angel. Dan's 10K boostfest. Opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Decent malts, little dark chocolate. Massive spicy whiskey, some smoke. Faw whiskey finish. Hot linger. Yeah - pretty intense.
