Bottle, many thanks MonsterMagnet! Brown color with ruby highlight and off-white head. Aroma is perfect vanilla & caramell Bourbon goodness, with a touch of Schnapspraline, chocolate, Ferrero Küsschen. Taste is caramel, wood sugar, vanilla, ethanol, chocolate, more Ferrero Küsschen. Silky mouthfeel with low carbonation. The aroma is basically perfect, the flavour is a bit rougher, but this is great. In fact, this is life, as the Twitter/FB community would say.

Bottle - in fact the last in Monster Magnet's stash. Very generous. Thank you. EU Local Swap. The boitbon boozeyness aroma makes my nose and eyes tingle. Dries fruit. Berries. Nuts. Marzipan. Daark and glossy. Thin beige head rings the rim. A rich smokey sweetness, with a bitter boozey finish. The taste mirors the aroma, but it's smoother. Added sugar. Thicky bodied. Sticky. Flat cabonation. A long warming finish. The heat remains on the tongue and in the throat. A lovely warming sipper. Compliments the costume drama that's on the box.

Bottle at home. Bit hazy deep mahogany with beige head, looks pretty good. Lots of chocolate and vanilla, strong sweet malts, bourbon, cognac, raisins, toffee. Light herbal finish with light chalk. Quite sweet with a bit weird herbal dry bitter finish and a bit of booze. Full bodied with low carbonation. Very nice, but really strong barrel notes.

Bottle shared at home. Black with thin white head. Big bourbon, deep roasted barley malts, dates, licorice, laurel, motor oil, rubber tire, bandaids, raincoat, leather, vanilla, tutti frutti, wet grass under full moon with a shiny goat dropping, peat, blackberries, firm alcoholic, nutty, ashy, bouillon. Quite sweet and bitter but in harmony. Full body, soft carbonation. Heavy and all over the place.

Bottled 330ml (BB 12/2022)
Dark ruby color, small beige head. Vanilla toffee, malts in the nose. Medium-bodied. Sweet vanilla, bourbon booze, toffee. A bit one-dimensional bourbon-dominated brew. Not my favourite from White Labe series.

33cl bottle. Bbe 12/2022. Poured dark brown color with a thin white head. Aroma has bready malts, bourbon, wood, some mild vanilla notes. Flavor is sweet with dark bread, bourbon, malts, syrup, some licorice and alcohol warmth. Pretty good sipper, although the bourbon is almost too dominating.

Shared 330 ml at local tasting. Dark brown colour, no head. Malty aroma, notes of molasses, oak and bourbon, but not as distinct as expected. Rounded sweet flavour, malty with notes of molasses, fairly distinct notes of oak, bourbon and vanilla.
