Bottle shared @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma color cappuccino media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note di bignè al cioccolato, kinder delice, vaniglia. In bocca va decisamente meglio, dolce all'attacco, cioccolatosa, intensissima, con chiusura amara leggera, volutamente non bilanciata. Corpo pieno, vellutata al palato, carbonazione leggera. Impressionante in bocca, ma al naso è una cafonata pazzesca.

330ml bottle. Pours black, basically no head at all. Aroma of strong bourbon, rich dark chocolate, vanilla, biscuit. Taste is very rich, sweet, bourbon, dark chocolate, vanilla, biscuit, peanut is mostly lost, mild spice, very boozy, warming finish. Full bodied, thick. It's lovely but the bourbon is quite intense so it overpowers some of the character that made the original YB so great.

Bottle. Black. Pastachoca in the aroma. Chocolate, hazelnoten, oak, Bourbon, vanilla, raisin. Hypersweet, but the booze provides Some complexity. Worth the hype, to my surprise!

Bottle. Nose is peanut butter, marshmallow, hint of tar and ash, chocolate, vanilla, banana sweets. Taste is chcocolate, peanut, vanilla, lactose, cherry, marshmallow, hints of strawberry, cherry chocolate, syrup, caramel, aspartame, hint of salt, almond, cookies, the bourbon is well integrated in the finish. It's enjoyable, but far too sweet, and has a slight synthetic sweetener like taste which I didn't enjoy. I've been trying to pin this beer down for years, and having now found it, it's something of a disappointment. The world has moved on from 5 years ago perhaps.

Almost as good as their choco-vanilla-nut wafer paradise stout Gimbagagompa. Perhaps a tad too much lactose for my tongue buds.

0.33 l bottle from 'Beergium', cellared for about a year. Pitch black with a very thin, slowly diminishing, beige layer. Very intense, sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of nougat, vanilla, cocoa and lactose. Intensely sweet, malty, slightly roasty taste of massive nougat, lactose, cocoa, vanilla and just a touch of bourbon, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter, slightly powdery and a little warming finish. Full body, smooth, slightly creamy and a bit oily mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Very tasty dessert beer, typical sweet aroma Omnipollo stuff, the bourbon is unfortunately hardly there, really lacks complexity as well. Good, but not as great as expected.
