500mL bottle drunk 6/28/24. Clear, dark. Good head. Buttery whiskey/oak. Rich and yet not aggressive. Buttered rum, toast, chocolate, toffee.... In the mouth it's similar. Rich buttercream and toffee with hot buttered rum and oak. Rich malts but high attenuation with a kiss of roasty coffee on the finish. Bit of honey and caramel, sweet chocolate and more buttery bread.

pitch black color. Slight acrid. Solid whiskey barrel character. Relatively dry. Full body alcohol well hidden modestly hoppy a bit to acrid for me but just a touch otherwise great depth. Solid beer

Bottle shared by Mike, 2/11/24. Thanks Mike! Dark brown color, think white head. Roasted and coffee forward. Some booze and wood. Creamy and full of flavor. Fun beer, and would have been more fun without the flying carrot toy that shattered my glass.

50cl bottle pours a opaque black, legs, creamy beige head that was clingy. Nose is very nice and approachable. Coffee, kahlua and some green coffee cherries. Malt, licorice and raisinette. Barrel is there but it screams more brandy or cognac than whiskey. Flavor has maple and barley and malt and caramel. More cookie than anything. Vanilla is there but it feels a touch off. Coffee and kahlua and cognac all stand firm. Full bodied, long oily, boozy finish. Very well balanced.
