Draught at MBCC 2018, yellow session.
Dark brown body, with a medium, creamy, dark beige head.
Aroma of bourbon, wood, melting dark chocolate, toffee, cocoa, vanilla, dark fruits, slight alcohol.
Tastes similar, while with more booze.
Full, oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes smooth, medium sweet, moderate boozy, with chocolate, wood, bourbon, vanilla, cocoa, some fruits.
Tasty. Rich and big, with well integrated bourbon barrel. Lovely, creamy chocolate notes throughout. A bit boozy, but not too overpowering, great sipper.
