Bomber thanks to Kenny. It pours oily brown + black with a small khaki head. The aroma is soft, sweet, toasty grain, macadamia, cashew, vanilla, praline, woody, cocoa and bourbon. The taste is slick, bitter - sweet, nutty, tannin, boozey vibes, toasted macadamia, spicy, boozey heat, chocolate cake, rocky road, gateaux and some alcohol warmth with a slick mouth feel.. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. Pretty intense shit.

22oz @ Matt's men's cave shared by Phill. Appearance: very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: super heavy on American oak, moderate sweetness, honey. Taste: along the same lines with nicely integrated maple. Medium to high sweetness and body. Overall: good integration of flavors here, great job.

Dark brown, not much head, though maybe less viscous than I was expected. Lots of sticky dark malts on the nose. On the palate it is fairly rich, lots of maple and a bit of vanilla. The elements are balanced, and while it's sticky, it still drinks well. The maple and barrel come through well.

22 oz. bottle, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is loaded with dark sugars, bourbon barrels, light maple, and some vanilla. Flavour is very sweet, with huge maple, followed by bourbon barrels, honey, and dark sugars. That's a huge amount of honey and maple. Too sweet for me, but it's nice in tiny quantities.

Bottled 650ml. -at RBESG 2023 Grand Tasting. No ABV stated on the label. Unclear brown/black coloured, minimal beige head, chocolate and light coconut nose. Chocolate, coconut, noticable alcohol and touch of hazelnuts with boozy finish. Tasty but a bit too boozy.

Bottle at RBESG 23 grand tasting. Brown-black body with almost no head. Huge chocolate, coffee aroma, just lovely! Sweet taste, macadamia nuts, chocolate and vanilla all over the sweet. Too sweet honestly, but still 4 material, and that says it all!
