There’s no better way to test your patience than barrel aging. Months go by, but you still want more of the boozy, woody goodness into your beer.
As much as you would want to just forget about it, you find yourself dreaming about cracks and leaks, rushing to check your precious casks every morning.
It’s truly Never Over.

Can at home, from some online peddler ... basking in the glory of Citeh 3-0 B&HA, 13/12/20. Black pour with a big old khaki cap of frothy bubbles that soon dissipates but settles as a handsome cap. Nose is chocolate, mellow roast, light vanilla essence, mellow bourbon, spice, toffee, milk chocolate. Taste comprises dark malts, toffee fudge, bourbon kiss, light spice, dried fruits, molasses, chocolate maltesers. Full bodied, fine massaging carbonation, semi drying close with a light kiss of alcohol. Solid BA impy ... all quite subtle and understated and sips easy for the ABV.

330ml can. Pours black with a nice tan head. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, it's actually very similar to white chocolate. Taste is sweet, rich, bourbon, loads of vanilla (but not overpowering), chocolate, treacle, dried fruits, warming alcohol, boozy. Full bodied, soft carbonation. This is outstanding, unlike the coconut version I think this vanilla edition actually improves on the base beer, feels less boozy and easier to drink. Hands down the greatest Romanian beer I've ever had.
