Almost black beer, a head is very small and brown. Aroma has lots of died fruits, raisin, prune, caramel, light bourbon, feels powerful. Taste has dried fruitness of raisin, barrel, some chocolate, maybe hint of bourbon. Full bodied, not stickyness. Powerful, maybe slightly simple. Very good beer.

Bottle at SPO 2026, afterparty.
The beer poured near black in color.
Lovely nose of dried fruts, caramel, sweetness. Smooth mouthfeel,, warming alcohol, not sticky at all. Got some wood, not showing much barrel though. Long finish. Sweet. Very good.

Smooth, slightly malty and sweetish with some prunes, oaky barrel, figs, maple syrup, toffee, vanilla, oak and caramel. A bit thin body and sweet, perhaps slightly lacking complexity but still surprisingly tasty

Smell of toffee, oak, vanilla. Dark brown colour, tiny brown head. Aroma of toffee, roasted malt, finishes with oak and vanilla. Faint raisin in background. Barrel treatment dominates. Thick texture. Soft carbon. Very sweet. Expected more.
