Aus der Flasche (bbe 30.12.2024) im 2024-08 getrunken. Schon in der Nase zeigt sich ein deutliches alkoholisches Aroma, als ob das Fass beim Befüllen des Stouts noch sehr Feucht war. Neben dem schweren Schokoladen Aroma ist eine Fehlnote zu entdecken. Ist das Schwefel? Auch am Gaumen zeigt sich die schlechte Einbindung des Alkohols was meine Vermutung das hier noch Brandy im Bier ist verhärten lässt. Nein dieses Bier kann weg, bevor es beginnt Kopfschmerzen zu machen.

Bottle. Black, oily with small light brown froth. Boozy brandy barrel aroma. Boozy brandy flavour, hot alc, sweet malt and dried fruit, overwhelmed by hot booze. Sippable in small amounts but way too boozy.
