Bottle pour at Kraft. A Heaven Hill verziotol talan minimalisan elmarad intenzitasban es komplexitasban, plusz mintha a teste is egy leheletnyivel vekonyabb lenne. Ezeket leszamitva (illetve ezekkel egyutt is) viszont meg mindig zseni, suru, csokis, bourbonos-mogyoros.

Bottle split at the Soapy returns tasting, Mother Arch ii, big thanks to the Wingmane, 27/04/23. Black with a thin tan covering that clears edgewards. Nose is big on booze, ripe dark fruits, bourbon soaked oak, chocolate, spice. Taste comprises chocolate, figs, molasses, tobacco, dried fruit rinds, spice, charr. Medium bodied, oily mouthfeel with moderate carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced bourbon xoaked climax. Solid big and ballsy BA impy stoot.

Bomber at Kernel. Thanks to The wingiest of mane. It pours oily deep brown - black with a small, but sturdy tan head. The aroma is soft, sweet, oily, unctuous, vanilla, cake frosting, fudgey, cakey, bourbon, booze soaked oak, quite sappy, intoxicating and filthy. The taste is slick, oily, fleeting bitterness which slips into sweetness, vanilla, cake frosting, dried fruits, rich roasted malt, warming alcoholic, boozey boost, roasted malt, praline, nutty, earth and plenty of booze soaked oak, drying finish. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. Fun stuff. A fairly classic Cycle impy.

Almost opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth and remarkably light palate, good fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, good dark chocolate. Spicy dark chocolate liqueur. The bourbon barrel adds deeply rich bourbon soaked fruits. Smooth spicy finish. Rather good what?
