Bottle, 500 ml, shared with Zec, JFK10000, Max and Miro B at Miro's Grande 2022. Black with small beige head. Chocolate, bourbon, cocoa, some fruity notes, cocoa. Light peat. Bit thin for abv. Medium bodied.

Fast gone tan-cream head over virually black beer with a purple sheen. Cocos, vanilla, perfumey, sweet roast, Bourbon, oak. A faint, nearly fresh flavour as from mint. Not as sweet as the nose suggested, if sweet enough. Powerful alcohol, yet pretty hidden - iron fist in silken glove. Very faint stoutacidity and a hint at phenols. Boozy in a sophisticated way, feels somehow well-carbonated. Sophisticated - undoubtedly, but is the result worth all the trouble, le ramage vaut-il le plumage? And while we're at French, what's the accent grave doing there?

Interesting. Black, bit of tan head. Heavy peaty smell. Definitely heavy, some boozyness, not that thick. Taste is a huge amount of ashy smokyness, with buckets of coconut, which I guess would come from the bourbon? Very wet barrels then.
