Panda thanks to Cloin. Almost opaque dark brown beer, a good but short lived bubbly tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth dark chocolate malts, a little dark malt cream. Soft rich bourbon soaked ripe fruits. Touch of dark berries. Plenty of coconut but, it tastes added rather than a natural bi product or good bba. Still glad it has been added. Not bad. Lacks a natural richness but pretty tasty.

Shared with Caesar and ShivanDragon @ Mancave Bunnik. Opaque black color, small beige head. Aroma is malts, sweetness, light bourbon, vanilla, coconut. The start was okay, but after a while the coconut becomes so dominant it becomes a bounty. Flavor is similar unfortunately. Liquid bounty. Not my thing at all.

Bottle. Nice gimmick: First time I see a brewery logo in relief in the wax layer. Color: Black, no head. Aroma: Cocoa, Bourbon, roasted malt and some coconut. Taste: Viscuous, overwhelming coconut, cocoa, Bourbon and vanilla notes, some roasted malt. Boozy hints. Over moderate to medium sweet, moderate bitterness. Full body, very low carbonation. Liquid Bounty.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Super smooth with bourbon, coconut, dark malt, vanilla, soft roast, chocolate, toasted coconut, some alcohol. Medium sweet, light bitter, a little booze. Velvety mouthfeel, full body. A beauty.

Bottle at home, from HOTM online, 22/03/2026.
Pitch black topped with a tan cap that veers to the edge.
Nose is chocolate, molasses, toasted brown sugars, mellow barrel whisper.
Taste comprises chocolate pot, coconut shavings, booze tunes, faint liquorice, molasses, brown sugar melt.
Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Solid BA impy ... luxurious and decadent.
