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.

Taste is caramel, sugar, booze harsh, too much barrel, dark fruit, too harsh & hot but not too bad.(24/09/2018) Borefts 2018. Day 1. Sampled draft. Thank you for sharing! Dark amber brown. Nose is massively sweet caramel & bourbon, sugar, sweet cookies & dark cane sugar plus more bourbon. Taste is bit too alcoholic plastic but nice alcoholic bourbon, sugar, cane, plastic, mocha, caramel, cookie, lingering alcohol, candy, dash soap, bit too alcoholic but nice. 4.3 -> score now 4
