What a great day this turned out to be; proper Belgian malts, fermented with Belgian Ardennes yeast from Mogwai Labs and aged for six months in Bourbon Barrels. It’s thick, oozy, moorish and complex and will leave you wondering if we’re trying to shoot you in the head.

That classic Belgo ester profile is present but has softened in the barrel, perfectly marrying the rich complexity of toasted malts, with the underlying bourbon barrel character. All the flavours you’d expect; raisins, rich cherries, dried apricots, caramel and chocolate but more rounded and complete with the added coconut and vanilla from the barrels.

From a 375ml can on 13/11/2024. Pours a deep brown with a small to medium head. The nose is sweet and malty with Belgian yeast, bourbon, chocolate and spices. Tastes of chocolate, caramel, rye bread, and Belgian yeast with a spicy, bourbony, boozy finish. Full bodied with modest carbonation. An enjoyable and well made big sipper.

Can. Almost black with a dense fat coat of beige head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of dried fruit and Bourbon, some chocolate brioche and oak. 7+ Full bodied, medium low carbonation. Sweet with oak, Bourbon and a reasonable degree of bitterness at the end I really liked. Bourbon is a little too prominent for me but doesn't entirely crowd out the dried fruit, dough and chocolate. Impressive.
