On tap at Borefts 2015. Clear, dark reddish brown with a creamy tan head. Sweetish-boozy, fruity aroma of prunes, molasses, peat, caramel, vanilla, cherries, licorice. Sweetish-malty, boozy taste, licorice, peat, vanille, tar, whiskey. Long, boozy, finish. Full body, oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very intense, quite boozy, lots of peat and whiskey, but good.

Thx! for sharing. Sampled draft @ Borefts 2015. Day 1. Very dark brown, almost no head. Just a few bubbles. Nose is very boozy, close to being too much, warming with a very thick sugary, syrupy malts, molasses, rich, decadent. Taste is warming alcohol with rich whiskey followed by very thick, syrupy, molasses, malts, warming, malts, sugar, thick syrup, dates, dark fruit,… Pretty much, thick warming molasses body. Had it once again on Day 2. Awesome, only small minus is probably that it is a touch too hot. Maybe some age might resolve it, Adam from the Wood is a touch better only due to this aspect but overall really amazing still.

Intensiver, deutlich süßer und alkoholischer Antrunk. Weich, dennoch unsüffig, geringfügig bitter. Brennend alkoholischer Nachhall. 11/11/8/9//9

drank at Borefts 2015. Pours dark, not much head. Smell is pure bourbon. Taste is intense,sharp,grainy bourbon. Back of sweet malts. Nice, but boozy and not as balanced as the regular version.

Taste: lots of bourbon, alcohol, caramel, sweet, some strawberry jam, sourish touch. Aftertaste: vanilla, bourbon, alcohol, caramel, sweet finish. Wow! Guilty pleasure much! So dessert! ;)

Tap at Borefts. Black with some big off white bubbles. Massive bourbon, vanilla, old wood, boozy with some grappa and rum but mainly lots of old bourbon. Light chocolate underneath. Sweet with light alcoholic bitterness. Medium bodied with slick feel and very light carbonation. Bourbon bomb.
