Plasticated capped 500 of 2022 in Heaven Hill barrels from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a large foamy darkish tan head Aroma of chocolate and bourbon. Full bodied. Flavor of smooth dark chocolate, burnt malt, bourbon with wood notes. Not dry. Not getting lactose. Chocolate and heat seem to provide bitter. Very tasty.

On tap at Alesong, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of bourbon barrel character upfront, followed by lactose and a little cocoa. Flavour is rich on the bourbon barrels upfront, sweetened nicely by the lactose, juxtaposed by the oaky dryness, and with just enough roasted malt character to provide body. Nice barrel character, not too sweet, with great depth. Excellent.
Thanks Morgan O. Smells like ‘chocomel’, bourbon, vanilla, taste has a oily creamy texture, bourbon flavour’s, sweet, coffee, chocolate, not the thickest body, nice gentle taste.
Yussssss decadent milky heaven hill barreled chocolate as always.

500ml bottle from Tavour. Black pour with a filmy beige head. Aroma is cocoa, toasty malts, then barrel notes. Taste is more cocoa, sweet, milk chocolate. Alcohol heat comes on very late, almost like it's not there, then...pow! Cocoa dominates
Side by side with 2018, thick and way more chocolate notes, bourbon still all over the nose and finish.
