This killer stout explodes with notes of bourbon-laden chocolate truffles and is packed with the rich flavor of roasted coconut and pecans, and finishes with decadent vanilla that washes over your palette.

Pours black, no head. Scent is full, bourbon, mild vanilla and nuttyness. Taste is super thick, intense and silky. Sweet, nutty, some vanilla. Crazy thick, but it works very well. Longlasting sweet finish. Pretty darn great !

Draught No head, black, even beer. Speculoos, resin, pine, and very perfumey n nose. Furious heat, sweet cherry-like flavour. Again speculoos. Syrupy, yet a tad mineral. Thicker it ain't a fluid any longer, viscous and furious alcoholheat. Not much carbonation left. Impressive. Really one for bottoms up...

11/XI/23 - on tap @ Billies Craft Beer Festival (Antwerp), Day 2 - part 1, BB: n/a (2023-959) Thanks to Sebletitje, ElManana and others for sharing today’s beers!
Clear dark brown to black beer, no head. Aroma: lots of chocolate, coconut, cocoa powder. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very sweet, lots of vanilla, alcohol touch, sugary, lots of fudge, caramel, more caramel, pretty sugary, lots and lots of butterscotch. Aftertaste: sugary, alcohol, more fudge and butterscotch, caramel, decent. I smelled the coconut, but didn’t taste it though, and couldn’t detect the pecan?

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2023. Pours an oily black with a dark brown head that dissipates quickly and completely. Aroma has pecan coming through with dark grains, roasted malts and coconut supporting. Flavor has coconut and dark grains up front with growing notes of roasted malts and peacn.
