Sampled at one of the brewpubs on December 2th, 2022 pouring a dark brown with a small beige head leaving some nice streaky, creamy lacing. Roasted malt base aromas with the Bourbon sweetness, nutty notes blending with the coconut and hints of vanilla. Rich, sweet flavours with the coconut, lactose, but not overly syrupy, but a good flow. The nuttiness lingers with chocolate in the background. The mouthfeel has a touch of grassiness from the hops, to dry the finish a bit. A tad booziness. An easy, pastry Imperial Stout to drink, with nothing standing out too much, but decent warming.

A deep dark stout with a very thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with light bourbon barrel notes, woody notes, vanilla, dark fruits, alcohol warmth, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with dark fruits, loads of vanilla, light licorice, woody notes, alcohol warmth, light bourbon, very nice and rich. On tap at Hautes Plaines location.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stotu with a medium size dark brown foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet fudge notes with some light coconut and vanilla with some bourbon notes is quite enticing. Taste is a complex and satisfying mix of sweet fudge notes and macadamia nuts with some clean bourbon notes with light woody notes and vanilla with some residual sugar notes. Solid BA pastry stout with great drinkability.

750ml (thx, Marc-Olivier!) in Golden Ears in the middle of the winter shared with Andrey by the fireplace resting after eating two greatly cooked Rib Eyes. Appearance: very dark brown with a weak dark beige head. Aroma: nuts, some acidity, bold, some complexity from the barrel. Taste: loads of nuts with coconut, barrel notes, chocolatey finish. Overall: nice one, the aroma of this one is not really nice, but taste, mouthfeel and aftertaste are great.
