Pitch black color. Off white head. Beautiful nose of bourbon light oak, dark chocolate, roasted malt, a touch of slaty licorice in there. The palate is soft, excellent depth, smooth palate. Nice light medium barrel finish. Very rounded. Excellent

They made a similar BA ESB a couple years ago that has great depth and fantastic barrel character. This is t that same level but this is still highly enjoyable.

Plenty juicy, lots of tropical citrus notes. Still finishes with a moderate hop profile.

Great to be back in Japan after 8 years! Loads of yuzu on this one; drinks sweeter than I expected. Perfect on a roasting hot day in Tokyo.

This is good. Very pale straw color, with ever lasting head and tiny bubbles of carbonation. Restrained, dry, nose with slight noble hop (??!) character but some crackery malt nose. The palate is super crisp and dry. The intense carbonation with modest b

Very grassy nose with a touch of biscuit malt. Big carbonation, big bitterness and very tight mouthfeel. Dry and lingering bitter finish. This is probably the most bitter DC I’ve had. Fantastic balance. Could use more nose but this is fantastic
