-1 point for the ridiculous, irritating wax. Pours viscously as motor oil to headless pitch black stuff. Ureum, chocolate, Bourbon, vanilla, blue cheese. Chocolate - very obvious - alcohol, fusels, fudge. Cheese returns in the mouth albeit somewhat more hesitantly. Chocolate and Bourbon in the finish lingering. Utterly rich, filthily decadent, yet amazingly delicate for such an full bodied alcoholbomb. Undercarbonated, however. As expected; rich, powerfull, but not as exceptional as some other Pühastes' tour de forces.

Ook deze is weer fantastisch. Gelukkig 2 flesjes van gepakt. Enorm dikke chocoladestout met een subtiele bourbon onderlaag. Geweldig. Budget Fremont.

Very dark brown pour with a dark espresso head. Smooth bourbon, vanilla, cocoa nibs, bitter cherries, booze, tons of toffee. A bit sharp due to the alcohol, but still pretty good.

0,33l bottle at home. BB 23.10.2025. black color, small very dark coffee colored head. smells wood, vanilla, bourbon, bit rummy, oxidation, light soy sauce, bit nutty. very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes of soy sauce, vanilla, nutty, wood, peppery, light chocolate notes. finishes bit boozy and lightly sweet with notes of soy sauce, vanilla and some nutty notes. hmm, this one was overbarreled, too much soy sauce and oak notes, and not that much else going on. also rather boozy. not bad but expected quite a bit more.
