0,65l bottle at home shared by Thomas, big thanks. No BB date. black color, small tan head. smells of whisky, vanilla, coconut, nutty, very light mint. lovely smell, reminds me of some Firestone Walker stouts. full body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of whisky, earthy, some vanilla, coconut, bit peppery, light molasses, hints of mint. finishes lightly sweet with notes of whisky, vanilla and light molasses. really good one, taste is not that smooth yet (maybe still a bit young), but overall very good stuff.
