Bottle. No idea where from. Thought this would be well past it. Plenty of life on opening. Pours silky and clear. Sits black in the glass with a slim tan head. Nose has rich semi bitter chocolate. Creamy vanilla bourbon barrel. Some hop leaf. Taste is semi sweet with is rich chocolate bitterness. Smooth and silky mouthfeel. Fine carbonation. Lingering dark chocolate bourbon heady finish. Held up mighty fine.

Bottle picked picked up from Cloudwater Webshop and consumed in Frank, Lenggries Mountain Camping, Southern Bavaria Wednesday 25th December 2019 (Christmas Day!) whilst listening to our album of the year - 'W.H. Lung' - 'Incidental Music'. ***Disclaimer***, Loz picked yet another sour on her random pull out of the box, I was done with the acidity of sours for the evening so got her to select again. Pours very dark brown without much of a head, the carbonation is subtle. Thick in the mouth, boozyness, sweetness, lots of chocolate, it's got some oomph..... like this, some bold beefy flavours, this is a great beer.
