Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde (?).
A: hazy black, huge, frothy, beige head.
A: prune, fig, green apple, mocha, milk chocolate, vanilla.
T: sweet fig, green apple, chocolate, softly bitter coffee.
F: herbal & earthy hops, some coffee roast, vanilla, warming bourbon alcohol.
P: medium body, oily texture, average carbonation.
Not a decadent BBA example, just a clean roasty profile with smooth bourbon traces (pun intended).

Lots of attributes I like, an imperial porter, barrel aging and a bourbon input, all positive to me. I have a 33 cl bottle ready to be tasted, it's opened and pouring into a snifter. Dark brown-black in color with a fair head of medium tan foam. A tolerable nose of chocolate, booze and some roastiness. The taste follows that, unfortunate or not as it stands. Ash and malt swallow anything else. A bit of chocolate and I cannot find the bourbon. Too heavy a hand with the roast, imo.

Bottle. Color: Almost black, stable very light nut-brown head. Aroma: Coffee, notes of roasted malt and Bourbon. Taste: Roased malt, coffee, dark chocolate, subtle Bourbon, boozy hints. Over medium body, average carbonation. Very nicely balanced in between base beer and barrel, well done.
