On tap at BPBW 2025. Pitch black coloured, small brown head, bourbon and chocolate in the nose. Bourbon barrel, dark chocolate, alcohol and vanilla with warming finish. Bit boozy.

28 July 2024. Bottle from Beer Republic. Vintage 2017, 14,1%. Hazy black, stable, frothy, beige head. Intense aroma of bourbon, green apple (acetaldehyde, more than I actually expected from a 7yr old bottle), melting fondant, black olive, prune, dark fudge, soy sauce, oak, tobacco, salmiak. Taste has sweet prune & date in a thick, delicious, yet refined dark-chocolatey, dark fudge-like malt body with umami edges of soy & black olive; just a hint of sour green apple as well and softly bitter coffee bean. Herbal & peppery hoppy finish, ongoing bitter fondant, coffee & tobacco, blending well with an oak accent and the inevitable warming bourbon alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Delicious & decadent, a pure delight to drink the 'Mother of all BBAs'; although I cannot shake the afterthought that I expected the bourbon treatment to have mellowed a bit more. But in the end, that's just nitpicking with a beer like this.
