12oz @ 🏡 shared with Phill.
Aroma: sweet, roasty, coconut and vanilla, a bit spicy.
Taste: along the same lines, a bit unbalanced to me in terms of connection of sweetness and bitterness.
Overall: decent, but not good enough for my taste anymore.

aroma has lots of chocolate, cocoa, some sweet caramel, some toffee, some sweet malts.
flavor is malts, dried dark fruits, toffee, faint salty note, raisins, slightly roasted malts, toasted malts, malty bitterness into the end. quite complex barley wine style strong ale - the adjuncts work well, does not come off as artificial.

Intense sweet and toasted malty with notes of dark dried fruit, caramel and toffee sweetness, medium body, vanilla and bourbon into the warming sweet malty close. Beautiful.
