Bottle shared by my brother - cheers! Purchased from BrewDog Castlegate. It pours like motor oil... darkest brown to black with limited head. The aroma is heady and decadent filth, super dark roasted malts, bitter - sweet, vanilla, coconut cream, bounty bar, kendal mint cake, marzipan, heady bourbon vibes, warming spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, loads of chocolate, fudgey, lamington cake, maple glazed donut, some umami, burnt toffee and liquorice allsorts. The taste is slick, oily, unctuous, decadent, thick cakey malts, bitter - sweet, dark roasted malt, toothy, chewy, warming booze, vanilla fudge, coconut cream, big bourbon vibes, warming, boozey, cinnamon, loads of bourbon, bourbon soaked oak, tree bark, dark chocolate torte, nuttiness, praline, pecan pie and a touch of tannin with a drying, dark roasted finale. Full body, soft carbonation and oily mouth feel. Rich and decadent. Sweet, yes but restrained / balanced. Not usually my kind of going, but this is a very good example.

Bottle. Pitch black colour, minor head. Aroma is spiciness, liquorice, cinnamon, some clove, maple syrup and a bit vanilla as well as some alcohol to it. Flavour is cinnamon, alcohol, maple syrup, liquorice, some clove and a bit wooden and vanillaish tones. Sweet, but very gentle as a sipper.

Wineglass showing pitch black with no head.

The nose shows intensely sweet notes of chocolate and light cinnamon.

The palate is lightly carbonated and medium bodied. Highly sweet and light flavors of espresso.

Bottle 375ml. @ [ M-M Tasting ] - fonefan & Brugmansia House. 🏡🇩🇰

[ As Shared / Side Project Parallels ].
ABV: 14.1%. Clear dark black brown colour with virtually no head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, chocolate, maple syrup - molasses, tobacco, vanilla, cinnamon, barrel. Flavor is heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a long duration, vanilla almost tonka like, chocolate, dark malt, vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon, bourbon - barrel, maple - burnt maple bitter, rich, heavy. IMO: a bit unbalanced because of the spicy - cinnamon and maple burnt - biter. Body is medium to full, texture is creamy, carbonation is soft, finish feel is warming and light alcoholic. [20240313]
