Cinnamon, candi sugar, bourbon, chocolate malt, and hay aroma. Black with nice brown head. Moderately sweet cinnamon, bourbon, chocolate malt, and moderately bitter dry hay, wood and light black pepper flavor. Great body and balance. A great beer. (#400 from the brewery).

Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Thanks Hunter! Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of brown head that lingers. Coffee and brownie aromas with a floral and woody beachwood aroma that is pretty prominent. Smooth on the palate with more of the amburana working well alongside the cacao nib, chocolate milk, coffee and vanilla flavors. Smooth vanilla and floral wood on the finish with endless chocolate notes. ABV is hidden well. Amburana works really well here. --- Beer merged from original tick of 70K - Amburana Wood on 09 Mar 2019 at 01:16 - Score: 8

Never had the base 70K, but I had another Amburana BA beer and now I know it just means shitload of coconut. Sweet, chocolatey and smooth. Lovely creamy and rich, hint of bourbon. Slow sipping warming chocolate milk stuff.
