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.

Pitch inky black, dark espresso head. Aroma is big Bourbon barrel, dried fruit, sherry, some oak vanilla, not much proper confectionery vanilla, good warming spicy alcohol. (Strangely, it kinda looses its power after a while. UPD. It must the Coconut edition tasted side by side shadowing it.). The taste is big and bold, pretty much as the base version was.

Dark oily pour with a dark tan head. Bourbon, vanilla and toffee in the nose. The taste follows the same notes, with additional notes of espresso, sherry, some bitter cherries, wood. Silky-smooth texture. Really nicely integrated vanilla.
