Svart med lys brunt skum. Lukter salt lakris, trevirke, mørk sjokolade og svisker. Middels fylde. Smaker salt lakris, kaffe, trevirke og tydelig bourbon i avslutningen. Lang.

650ml bottle [2017 vintage, barrel-aged 9 months, 14.0% abv]. Jet black colour with average, fluffy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish, caramel and dark malty aroma, notes of dark caramel, Bourbon, a touch of oak, whiffs of cinnamon, vanilla, tobacco. Taste is boozy, sweet and bitter, caramel and dark malty, notes of dark caramel, Bourbon, alcohol, whiffs of cinnamon, vanilla, tobacco. Watery texture, smooth and soft, pungent palate, fine and soft carbonation. Surprisingly light body, somehow thin and simple, simultaneously very boozy; somehow more liqueur than beer - useless, feeble-minded Big beer.

Taster pour from a bottle at bottle share -- thanks Chalumeaux! Appearance is clear, dark, dark brown with no sparkle, thin ring of beige head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is vanilla and mild bourbon. Taste is bourbon over caramel malts and alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth, velvety texture, soft carbonation and lively spicy kick and finish as taste. Overall, the alcohol dominates vs. compliments--could use some more time to mellow.

Chalumeaux with a killer vertical, thanks buddy! 2017 vintage. The aroma is mostly bourbon, slight coffee. Flavor has weak vanilla, soft coffee, and some hot bourbon. Rich and hot with lots of warming.

Bottle. Deep dark brown color. Vanilla, bourbon, toffee in the aroma. Malty sweet, caramelly, soft roasty flavor with vanilla and bourbon. Toffee. Low on carbon. Alcoholic. Well rounded and balanced.
