Bottle @ home, bought quite some time ago from De Bierkoning. Opens with a big pscht. Black color. Big ricky beige head with long retention. Aroma's: bourbon but not boozy, vanilla, chocolate, roasty. Retronasal: bourbon, fruity alcohol, sweet, chocolate, light wood. Flavor is moderate heavy sweet, fruity alcoholic, chocolate. ABV certainly seems higher than 8.5%, but still not too boozy. Medium bodied. Finishes sweet, with dark fruit and chocolate. Very nice.

December 2017. Big Tasting at Višnja's Penthouse! Dark reddish to brown, small off-white head. Malty and toasty. Sweet. Light to medium body, soft carbonation, light finish. Incredibly drinkable for an 8.1, but I expected more yeasty and spicy aromas.
