Can at tasting. Aroma of sweet marshmallows, vanilla, candy coconut, caramel, malt and chocolate. Taste has rich sweet bourbon, milk chocolate, malt, caramel, earthy vanilla, sweet marshmallows and lots of booze. Not a lot of coconut, but the bourbon and vanilla are very nice.

Draft. A black beer with a thin dark brown head. The aroma has notes of coconut, bourbon, roasted malt, and dark chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, roasted malt, dark chocolate, bourbon, and coconut, leading to a bitter finish.

29 November 2019. At Billie's Craft Beer Fest. Cheers to the lovely Anke, tderoeck, 77ships & Ghent beer crew! Hazy black, no head. Aroma of vanilla, macaroon, coconut chips, brownie, chocolate sauce, cappuccino. Taste has very sweet chocolate, candied dark fruit & cream in a biscuity character, dash of vanilla mixing with coconut accents, faintly bitter coffee & wood. Peppery hoppy finish, still quite sweet & malty, chocolate, cookie & coconut & strongly warming bourbon-like alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Very sweet but still balanced in its added ingredients. 9/3/8/3/16=3.9. 14 December 2019. At 2nd Great Timternational Beer Tasting. Cheers to Ghent beer crew! More apparent bourbon, vanilla, but also acetaldehyde this time. Whiff of red & green apple in the taste as well. Slightly better mouthfeel. Taking the original rating as the standard, increasing the score a bit.
