Poured from 473mL can (pkg 08/27/2019). Gentle roast, mild milk sugars, some cocoa, underlying whiskey barrel character, decent despite its age.

1 March 2025. At Winter Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks to hosting, Tim & Marina, and cheers to the whole crew!

Tawny port, bourbon, black olive, teriyaki, raisin, fig, tobacco, brambleberries, wood, ink. Sweet raisin, fig, prune, brambleberries; thick dark-chocolatey, toasty and pecan-nutty maltiness, hint of wood. (Black-)peppery hops, dried fruits, more wood, tobacco, bit roasted but not overly so. Warming port & bourbon alcohol. Touch of vanilla. Full body, oily texture. Complex aged profile. Stunning! Deserves a longer sipping session, alas impossible. Thanks again, Tim!

Bottle at Belgian Beer Geeks Gathering. Very dark brown with tan head. Tobacco, licorice, bourbon, toffee, bitter earthy oak, plums, brown sugar. Solid sweet but also quite bitter. Full bodied with dry tannic finish. Nice.
