Waxed bomber. Mystery Advent beer #9 from Tavour. 2018 bottle. Aroma is coconut, caramel, oak, booze, nutty. Pours muddy brown with a thin collapsing beige head. Taste is sweet and boozy with a light acidity in the finish; flavors like the aroma descriptors. A bit soft in carbonation. A nice beer, but slightly boozy to a fault.

Pours a rich reddish-brown from a bottle, thick off-white head. Big bourbony aroma along with some spice and booze. Flavor is a big caramel/vanilla, some light spice like a nutmeg, somehow finishes a bit dry, although the initial sweet flavor coats the mouth. Feels fizzy in the mouth like a soda. Okay beer.
