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.

330ml can. Pours black with a nice tan head. Aroma has huge coconut, bourbon, chocolate, treacle. Taste is like the aroma with a huge amount of coconut dominating the flavours, still getting a decent amount of bourbon too, chocolate, treacle, dried fruit, warming alcohol, boozy. Full bodied, soft carbonation. I like the coconut but not sure it improves on the base beer.

Pitch inky black, dark espresso head. There's some coconut in the aroma, it basically covers up the barrel - there's still some left, though. The overall intensity, however, is sky high - coconut candies, Dark treacle, alcohol. Fortunately, the coconut is much more gentle in the taste, and it even seems to add some value. The rest is the same big, intense and balanced impy.
