Draught at Gourmet Haus. Massive molasses, booze, whiskey and cocoa aroma. Beautiful! Pours deep black with brown highlights and minimal brown head as a ring. Flavor is boozy, dusted chocolate, vanilla, blackstrap molasses. Such a great beer.

Bottle picked up from Beer Republic Webshop, Breda, Netherlands and consumed at Wohnmobil Stellplatz Bahnhof, Mittenwald Saturday 5th November 2022 listening to Rufus du Sol on Tidal, we have had a great day with Rhys up Karwendel and walking around Mittenwald and then onto Lautersee. Pours black with a slim tan head. Nice aroma, mostly chocolate but roast malts and subtle bourbon wafts. In the mouth this is super indulgent, chocolate, fudge then a little chocolate brownie and with a little boozy edge. Again maybe not as good as some that I've had from these guys but it's still very good.

Tap at Churchkey. The complexity of the last year's version is no or there of course. Still has really rich bourbon barrel notes, but not quite as awesome a final product as 2021. Monster beer..slowed me down.

Bottle from the brewery. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight/transient creamy dark tan head. Aroma of wood, burnt malt, dark fruit, bourbon, vanilla. Very full bodied. Flavor is chewy, fudgy chocolate, bourbon, toasted/burnt malt, dark cherries, leather/tobacco. Not dry. Nearly sticky. Yet heat and burnt malt render it quite bitter. Extremely tasty ale.

Sample at Shelter pours an oily, leggy black with a ring of beige head. Nose has booze and roast and toast and caramel. Smells high end. Bourbon is nice and blends well with the base, roast and chocolate and molasses. Big Kentucky hug on the end, full bodied.
