Bottle. An intense one, lots of booze without boozyness. Molasses, oak, dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, vanilla hints and of course some alcohol. Toffee, caramel, nuttyness and some prune. Full-bodied and warming. Everlasting finsh. Wonderful, sure was a good idea transferring the beer to rum barrels after the bourbon ageing. 849416 250906

TCBW 2025.
Poured pretty much black in color.
Roasted malts dominates obviously, got some nice oakiness, barrel showing, still balanced despite the hig abv. Got some heat though later.

Tap at BPBW 2025. Blackish body, off-white head. Alcohol dominates the aroma, berry notes, bourbon / vanilla, quite sticky. Barrel-driven taste, bourbon, vanilla, berries, wood, quite sweet, but also somehow a bit stale as well. Didn't engage me as much as I hoped it would.

Sold black stuff. Fine intensity in the aroma.
Pleasant sweetness
