0.75l bottle from Base Camp. Blackish body, off-white head. Ancient, musty barrel notes, glue to acetone, alcohol, but also pleasant chocolate and coconut notes. Like someone threw a Bounty bar in an old barrel from back home before people realized they actually should get new barrels more often. Sweetish taste, smooth. Acetone again, with nice cocoa and coconut notes, alcohol in evidence quite much, but the slick, smooth taste is quite nice. The barrel probably killed this. Literally brought back memories of decades and decades-old wine barrel barrel from my family's konoba in Veli Iž, but that wasn't its only flaw, acetone was there instead of vanilla...
