Flaska från TG, 2020. Svart med bruna/rubinröda toner i kanten, brun liten skumkrona med fina bubblor i kanterna. Doftar av kaffe, lönnsirap, choklad, vanilj, choklad- och vaniljwafers, lätt whiskeyton. Även en angenäm lite bärig ton som drar åt inlagda körsbär som jag helt saknar i MD:n. Mycket samma i smaken som i doften. Snygg och mjuk kaffeton, mocca, lönnsirap, choklad, hasselnöt, nötkräm. Ruskigt fint integrerad fatkaraktär, men egentligen inte jättemycket smak från whiskeyn. Väldigt snäll eldighet på sin höjd. Väl avvägt, elegant trots kraftpaket. Görs helt klart öl som är större och maffigare, men här balanseras det med elegans. Finns oerhört lite att klaga på. Skulle jag få önska något så skulle det vara något mer fatkaraktär, lite mer smak och eldighet från whiskeyn. Oerhörd kul val att bocka av från listan.

Thanks will 😏

Bottle split as the first beer on day 1 of Coconut/Cinnamon Death 2017. Batch 3, bottle 834. Pours pitch black with a small super dark brown saturated dense head. Biggest aroma from the bottle I’ve ever smelled. Instantly filled the room. Huge maple and coffee bomb. Light peppery notes, but mostly just sweet fruity coffee. Milk chocolate, fudge, vanilla, subtle liquorice, subtle roast, dark fruits, large nutella finish after been sitting in the glass for a good 20 minutes. God. Damn. Taste has the same massive coffee and maple, vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate, dry cocoa, dark berries. Worthy of being in the absolute top.

2018 bottle into a taster showing pitch black with no head. The nose shows intense notes of sweet biscuit, chocolate, cacao, and light bourbon. The palate is full bodied and lightly carbonated with an oily mouthfeel. Intense dark chocolate forward with a balanced bourbon background. Short finish of maple syrup.

Many, many thanks to @IPhonePhan for this share. Not every day you taste a top 50, let alone a #1. Bottle #866. 12oz bottle is very heavily waxed... but then it pops and wow... the maple nose just plumes out of the bottle. Nose has coffee, malt, blueberry, milk chocolate. Oh yeah... looks like syrup, dark chocolate brown with basically no head but tons of thick, syrupy legs. Flavor has the booze, cognac and dark whiskey, chocolate, coffee and coffee liqueur, the maple is more complimentary than anything. Finishes a bit hot, but really smooth given everything happening.

Black tan - bourbon, chocolate, maple, sweet charred oak, vanilla. 4.7

12oz bottle at the DC Spring RB Tasting. Poured a pitch black, motor oil color with a small, wispy brown head. Lots of nice legs on this one. Aroma was a blast, a huge blast of maple. Roasted malts, roasted coffee, vanilla bean. Flavor was similar, nice maple syrup, vanilla and coffee notes. Very warming. Very smooth, not a whole lot of sweetness in this one, which was very nice. So smooth.
