1 US pint bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Another big hitter. 25 months aged on blueberries and vanilla, definitely a blueberry muffin flavour profile emerging.. fluffy even.. complimenting the big bourbon presence.. thankfully not much coffee, though bears a moderate bitterness. Ace.

Bottle at BBGG. Almost black, no head. Massive bourbon, blackberries, vanilla, blueberries, dry oak, boost. Sugary sweet, medium bitter and light sour. Full bodied

Bouteille 50cl à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci Bart.
Noire, léger filament huileux doré au verre.
Arôme sur un bouquet chargé en malts – pas mal de chocolat, café, cookie notes avec une belle touche de Bourbon en support avec une finesse fruitée des myrtilles en support sans jamais laisser augurer d’un côté ‘pastry’ surfait.
Palais est fort marqué sur les mats – effectivement avec deux grands noms des gros stouts américains, cela passe bien. Épais en bouche, avec une bonne rondeur des malts – caramel, toffee, chocolat surfant sur le cacao et ganache – Bourbon en support cela rajoute à l’onctuosité – cookie notes. La finalité sur les fruits ici, des baies délicates comme les myrtilles passe assez bien et balance un peu le profile conséquent de cette grosse RIS.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of complex coffee, big bourbon barrels, booze, a touch of blueberry, and some vanilla. Flavour has a nice fluffy blueberry muffin character, with gentle vanilla, booze, and a touch of coffee. Weird adjunct combo that works surprisingly well. Very good.

Dark brown. Soft malt. The aroma has a fair amount of blueberry, vanilla, some good chocolate, and a fair bit of bourbon. Not necessarily refined, but it is complex, with all those elements coming together. The blueberry is big on the palate, with some coffee. Again, lots of stuff coming together, in a fairly sweet package. The blueberry tartness in the finish, for me, lends a great bit of complexity and character, and elevates the beer.

Poured from 1 pint .9 fl oz bottle. Very dark brown with almost no beige head. Nutty charred barrel with blueberry and vanilla, very feint coffee underlay. Decent.
