15 September 2024. At 16de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & Jerre!

Rerate for the heck of it. Intense bourbon, brandy, chocolate sauce, vanilla, fudge. Sweet fudge, milk chocolate, cappuccino. Peppery hops and warming bourbon alcohol. Full body, creamy. I liked this way better now, or it has simply improved.
