On tap @ BPBW. Pretty damn heavy brew, this is. Packed with grainy, chocolatey notes and has a huge boozy character too. I dig it tho.

Draft sample @ Swafff '19. Ambre sur col fin beige. Arôme marqué par de belles effluves de Bourbon, léger vanillé, rétro malté caramel / pâle / ambre, petite note sucrée avec léger fruité. Palais est plaisant mettant bien en avant les notes de barrique - léger vanille, note collante aux lèvres, aspect un peu anglais dans l'approche avec une fine amertume qui reste présente.Alcool passe en retrait remet le Bourbon sur le devant.
