12/III/24 - 1Pt. 6 Fl. Oz. bottle @ home (Gent), BB: n/a (2024-163) Thanks to ElManana+1 for sharing the bottle!
Clear dark brown to black beer, no head, just a few beige bubbles. Aroma: sugary impression, lots of caramel, dried fruits, a bit oxidized, some chocolate, hint of soy sauce, malty, aquarium shop (yeah, I know), a little floral. MF: no carbon, medium body. Taste: oxidized, gentle roast, lots of alcohol, some cocoa powder, bitter, whisky, a hint of coffee, dried fruits, very oxidized. Aftertaste: a little sugary, alcohol, dark chocolate, a bit of soy sauce, pretty bitter and roasted, some vanilla, a bit flat.

Aroma is sweeet praline, vanilla, oak, bourbon, spicy coffee bean. Smooth booze on the nose. Flavour is composed of smooth layered malts, sweet praline, oak and vanilla sweetness, tangy roast, and woody finish. Palate is full bodied, sticky, moderate carbonation. Really good.
