On tap at MBCC 2023, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma brings out vanilla, bourbon barrels, and dark sugars. Flavour is full of dark sugars, bourbon barrels, and toffee. Flavour is rich, with intense vanilla, light coconut, dark sugars and big bourbon barrels. Sweet, complex and rounded. Lovely.

MBCC. Black with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, chocolate, hazelnuts, vanilla and bourbon. Flavor is very sweet and moderate bitter. Dry finish with lots of warming alcohol. Oily.

Tap. Black color with beige head. Aroma is big hazelnuts, bourbon, coffee, intense. Taste is the same, good toasted hazelnut character, wood, and some tannins and booze burn. Not too thicc, very nice one!
