This barrel-aged stout spends over a year in barrels, sometimes closer to two, to create one killer brew. Featuring notes of bourbon, warmth in each sip and washes over a fudge chocolate base.

8/XI/25 - on tap @ Billies Craft Beer Festival Day 2 - Session 1 (Antwerp), BB: n/a (2025-1186) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, dissipates quickly. Aroma: very oxidized, lots of soy sauce, earthy, roasted, tobacco, sweet, caramel, vanilla, nice one! MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, lots of alcohol, soy sauce, oxidized, roasted, lots of caramel, sweet, a hint of vanilla, nice! Aftertaste: alcohol, more oxidized, Madeira, Sherry and Port notes, some cardboard, dark caramel, ok.
