Draft tasting glass @ Beerlovers Bar during Kees tap-takeover. Dark brown amber, tanned head. Nose is boozy caramel, massive bourbon, sugar, candy, very harsh, vanilla oak, caramel. Too harsh raw but still very nice bourbon, sugar, caramel, toffee, bit unbalanced, touch empty,… Still too young & hot as right about every Kees BA these days but not as bad as some other examples largely because hot bourbon works for me.

Draught Small pale cream-coloured head over fully opaque reddish brown beer. Vanilla bomb, the Bourbon over-obvious. Sweet, caramel, treacle. But also raisins, fusels, blue cheese aromas. Again raisins, blue cheese, orangepeel, vanilla, orangejuice, fusels and alcohol, milkchocolate. Serious alcoholwarming, bit sticky, very viscous. Another winner, Bubberman! 8/4/8/4/16
