По запаху уже на грани стаута как будто. На первый глоток очень резко, как будто шоколад какай то, очень крепко, непонятно. Только в послевкусие пробираеться что то из сухофруктов, но все равно, почти провал.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Yellow session), pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a nice Belgian yeast complexity, bourbon, and toffee. Flavour has a nice Belgian yeast expression, plenty of woody barrel, alcohol, and some light fruitiness. Really nice Belgian yeast expression and barrel character.
