Blik gedeeld door Roelzie, geprobeerd met Romy. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een bruinig schuim. Het heeft een aroma van gebrand hout en bourbon. De smaak is vol, drop achtig met een warme bourbon afdronk.

12.5% can. Pitch black, thick brown head. Smells of dried fruit, a little dark chocolate, sweet bourbon. Flavour has brown sugar, dried fruit again, dark chocolate, toasty malt, warming bourbon, a little anise, vanilla. Nice sweet finish without being sickly and lingering boozy warmth from the bourbon. Very nice.

Can. Pitch black body under a big, dense, lacing beige head. Strong Bourbon dominated aroma with dark roasted malt, dark chocolate and vanilla. Taste is rather Bourbon dominated as well, roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, dry fruit, vanilla, some oak and fine bitterness. Balanced body and long lasting aftertaste with Bourbon and warming alcohol. Feels a bit boozy at the first sips but becomes smoother after a while.

Can at BBT 2/2022. Med-full body, quite high warmth, bordering on unpleasant. Med-high carbonation. The rather high alcohol defines this beer, effect of the barrels seems to just amplify the warmth rather than add to the complexity. There is lots of dark malt character, it just fails tu shine. Finishes really just burning. All of this directly contradicts the commercial description, so I just feel like it is cheating. TOP 50, whatever.
