From tap at Borefts 2019. Aroma is really strong gin with roast, juniper, chocolate, and herbal tones. Moderate to medium sweet, roasty bitter, some alcohol. Body is full. Very tasty gin influence, bit boozy, I quite like it.

The Aromas are kind of weird, skanky Stout. My friends thought the Aromas were cinnamon but they didn't know the story I can pick up the gin but it's not a match made in heaven. Drinkable but time to put this idea to bed.

Tap. Darkest brown color with beige head. Aroma is spicy, chocolate, herbal, roast. Taste is weird spices, rosemary?, apparently gin barrel, chocolate. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. The spices are a bit weird, it's not amazing.

27/IX/19 - on tap @ Borefts Day 1, BB: n/a - (2019-1525) Thanks to the international RateBeer Crew for sharing today's beers!
Clear dark red brown beer, no head. spicy, oxidized, caramel, sweet impression, alcohol, spicy, cinnamon and cloves, weird. Probably spices from the gin then? MF: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: nice roast, sweet, some alcohol, bitter, malty, chocolate. Aftertaste: more roasted malts, coffee bitter finish. Not getting those spices in the flavour though. Also didn't get any of the honey...
