Tap (Szynkarnia, Wroclaw). Czarna barwa z rubinowymi refleksami pod swiatlo, piany praktycznie brak. Aromat bardzo intensywny z nutami beczkowymi i bourbona, ktore przykrywaja wszystkie inne jesli sa, bardzo przyjemny. Piwo lekko slodkawe z bardzo wyraznymi nutami beczki, drewnianymi, wanilii i lekko winnymi, bourbona, ktore calkowicie rzadza w smaku. Lekko oleista konsystencja przyjemnie oblepia podniebienie i przelyk a alkohol delikatnie rozgrzewa od srodka. Piwo jest z gornej polki i jak na swoja moc bardzo pijalne choc nuty ris’owe zostaly stlumione przez wyzej wspomniane a subtelna czekolada jest daleko w tle. Ogolnie super piwo a lezakowanie w beczce nadaje piwu gladkosci i swietnych akcentow beczkowych, czyli jeden level wyzej.
