Bottle pour at Pien Shop, pours a deep dark brown/near-black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of rich, sticky toffee malts, deep bourbon, molasses, and dark dried fruits. Flavour is very rich, with intense dark dried fruits, sticky toffee, big bourbon, and dark sugars. Very sweet but has the malt complexity to back and the great barrel notes. A bit brutal and cloying but otherwise very good.

Sweet and light toasted malty with lots of toffee and fudge and caramel like sweetness, some dark fruit shred, nice body and mouthfeel, bourbon and vanilla coalesce into the sweet warming finish. Great stuff.

Pours deep brown/black into a snifter. Mocha head with little retention recedes to pool suface. Hot licorice, vanilla and bourbon aromas. Thick with sweet chocolate fudge, hot caramel and vanilla front to back. Lasting chocolate covered cherry and bourbon ball finish.

Leicht alkoholischer Beginn, schwer nach Vanille, dunkles Malz, cremig. Im Mittelteil brennt der Alkohol, die Süße steigt an, minimal bitter. Unsüffig. 12/11/8/9//9

Bottle at home, last one of 2024 to end on 23456 ratings in total. Always nice to end on a 'round number'. Opaque black colored beer with a small brown colored head. Aroma is malts, bourbon, sweet chocolate notes in the background retronasal, molasses. Flavor is malts, sweet sticky malts, bourbon, vanilla, molasses heavily. Sticky texture, thick viscous oily mouthfeel as the beer coats the inside of your mouth completely, suitable relatively soft carbonation. Pretty good one to finish off 2024. On to the next year!

More FO than IO it feels, and lots of vanilla, but tasty fun blend.
