Bottle shared thanks to Razvan. Black with small head. Massive blueberry jelly, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, maple, fudge. Solid sweet, light sour and bitter. Very thick full body. Meh, not much bourbon, mostly sugar and berries. Not bad overall though.

Bottle courtesy of the Croatian contingent at the BPBW 2025, huge thanks! Black body, off-white head. Creamy aroma, towards maple and carob, barrely. Creamy, alcohol, maple, carob taste, ending woody, bitterish. Hooh this is nice!

20/IX/24 - 33cl bottle @ Borefts Day 1, Brouwerij De Molen (Bodegraven), BB: 22/IX/26 (2024-947) Thanks to the Brewver crew for sharing today’s beers!
Clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: nice, lots of black (dark) forest fruits, cherries, blackberries, bubble gum, a bit artificial, some blueberry jam. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: lots and lots of alcohol, sugary, sweet, blueberry jam, earthy, soft roast, a bit sourish, lots of alcohol. Aftertaste: more alcohol, soft roast, fruity, blackberries, earthy, roasted, some chillies maybe, or is it just the alcohol stinging the back of the throat?
