Tap at Borefts. Clear deep mahogany, small beige head. Vanilla, thick sweet bourbon, brown sugar, alcohol, light red berries, caramel. Quite sweet, medium bitter and light tart. Almost full bodied with slick feel. Nice!

Very thick, very boozy, very sweet, very woody, very drinkable. Very everything, and that's about its only problem: it's a tad too overwhelming to properly enjoy it, and just too sweet. Cor says decadent, I agree. Still delicious.
