330ml bottle from Sterk, Amsterdam. Pours dark brown, almost black with a thick foamy light brown head. Aroma of buttery bourbon, popcorn, vanilla, roasty malts, chocolate, wood, vanilla and oak. Taste is sweet, roasty and oaky with loads of bourbon, wood, popcorn, butter, vanilla and syrup. Finish is a total bourbon overdose with loads of buttery oaky notes, hints of vanilla, popcorn, wood and toffee. A bit unbalanced, too much bourbon here, but I kinda like this still.

330 ml. bottle split on the train after Brugs Beer Festival 2017. Black, solid creamy mocha head. Nose is liquorice, roast, caramel, mocha, little bourbon,… Taste is cheap chocolate milk, sugar, low roast, bit herbal but overall sweet brown sugar, basic chocolate, little bourbon but pleasant basic chocolate, sugar,… Simple bodied, lacking some bourbon, not the best in style but pleasant stuff for sure.
