Heavy, intense and roasty with some bourbon, wood, oak, hints of syrup and vanilla, mild earthiness. A bit boozy

Bottle. Pours a deep, opaque mahogany with a medium beige head with decent lacing and residual. Aroma is chocolate, vanilla, oak tannin, bourbon, fudge, coffee grounds, tobacco, and molasses. Flavor is medium plus sweet, light bitter, well integrated. Full body, silky mouthfeel.

Bottle shared at CBJ - cheers! Pours black-brown with a small, creamy beige head. Medium sweet flavour, some rich boozy barrel, dark mats, toasted marshmallows. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, a little sticky. Not bad.

Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to Wingman. Near opaque dark brown beer, no real head. Smooth palate, a slight viscosity, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Good dark chocolate malts, slightly tangy, a little bitter dark chocolate. Savoury over ripe bourbon soaked fruits. A little alcohol spice on the semi dry finish. Flavoursome.

Bottle @ Tores garage. Pitch black body without any head. Strong and nice aroma of dark malt, licorice, dark chocolate and lots of alcohol without being unpleasant. Tatse is very sweet with lots of dark, roasted malt, dark chocolate, molasses, balancing strong bitterness, some kind of acidity and warming alcohol. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. Surprisingly nice for such a sweet and alcoholic beer, it’s simple amazing.
