Bottle shared at kermis tasting thanks to The kermis. Black with very small head. Massive whiskey, earthy, boost, nutty, a ton of rye whiskey, toffee, caramel, vanilla, sugar. Quite serrt, massive barrel with light boozy bitterness. Almost full bodied, boozy finish. Great.

Bottle shared at the 2025 Pre-Christmas/NY Zaandam Borrel. Poured almost black in colour, with a thin whispy tan head. The aroma is roasty, chocolate, earthy oaky. The flavour is strong sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, dry oaky, warm, boozy, oily, liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle share in Zaandam, thanks Chris! Pitch black body and a brown head that quickly disappears. Geur is boozy, bijna teveel. Retronasaal: zoet, fruit, alcohol. Smaak is zoet, chocola, geroosterde mout, beetje houtskool. Volle body. Zachte koolzuur. Lange afdronk, geroosterd, iets bitter.

Better than the other DB brandy forward assassin. Chocolatey rye barrels for days

Bottle thanks to Matt. Pours a very dark brown with small beige head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is strong rye, roast, brownie batter, oak. Slick body, chocolate, roast, brownie, rye bourbon, wood, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.

Fles gedeeld door Keukeman. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier. Het heeft een gebrande houtige geur met warme tonen van bourbon. De smaak is vol, warm en gebrand met tonen van chocolade, drop en whisky.
