On tap at the Brugge Beer Festival 2025, Brugge, Belgium. A very dark brown/black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Rich, sweet, chocolate, vanilla, marshmallow, bourbon taste/aroma. An excellent bourbon barrel aged stout.

12.7 oz bottle from Reserve Society. Aroma has notes of dark chocolate, dark bread, coffee, coconut, almonds, wood, bourbon. Taste is highly sweet backed by firm bitterness with flavors of the adjuncts. A little hot. A little disjointed and overly rich. Not as harmonious as it should be. Not bad, just flawed. Very much a sipper.

12.7 oz bottle from Reserve Society. Pours murky brown with a one+ finger beige head with good retention. Aroma is strawberry, marshmallow, vanilla, oxidation, alcohol. Taste is highly sour (9/10) and a little sweet with flavors like the aroma. Strawberry is the standout flavor and the acidic sourness pretty much obliterates the marshmallow.

12.7 oz bottle from the Reserve Society. Aroma is slightly peppery, old books. Taste is spicy Belgian yeast character with a hint of tartness. Pretty boozy.

Sweet, roasty and heavy with some rye barrel, licorice, boozy earthiness, syrup and warming alcohol. Heavy.

13 September 2025. At 17de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to the whole crew!
From the Stacks stand. Bourbon, green apple, banana, chocolate sauce, dark fudge. Sweet date, raisin, chocolate sauce, dark fudge. Black-peppery hops, wood, spices, heating bourbon alcohol. Full body, oily-syrupy texture. Intense and moreish, just a bit too chaotic in a way.

Bottle. Black beer with a low tan head. Nutty and bourbon aroma with chocolate. Chocolate and nutty flavor with bourbon and caramel. Fuller bodied. Chocolate and nuttiness linger with bourbon and caramel.
