11 September 2021. At Summer Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks, Klaas & Liesbeth, cheers to the whole crew!
Hazy dark brown, thin, tan head. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, green apple (acetaldehyde), date, biscuit, banana, fudge. Taste has very sweet date, fig & pear in a caramelly malt body, bit biscuity with even a note of milk chocolate and a herbal-spicy edge. Herbal hoppy finish, dried fruits, fudge, touch vanilla thanks to the heating bourbon alcohol (or rye whiskey for that matter). Full body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Even more delicious than the Double Oaked version.

Clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: malty, alcohol, good roast, caramel, nice stuff, bit oxidized, bit yeasty, lots of whiskey, barrel wood. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, oxidized, alcohol, caramel, more oxidative notes. Aftertaste: oxidized, alcohol, lots of alcohol, bit sugary, bourbon, good stuff!
