Shared with Caesar and ShivanDragon @ Mancave Bunnik. Opaque black color, small light brown colored head. Aroma is predominantly bourbon, vanilla, softly malts, caramel. Flavor is malts, caramel, chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, lightly soy sauce. Full body, decent carbonation, thick texture. Heavy but really really good. Wow.

Near black. Chocolate coconut bomb aroma. Super thick and sweet. Massive coconut, lighy roast, and of course a lot of barrel to round it out. Doesn’t scream rye, but it’s well-integrated.

Near black. Roast, dark chocolate, almond lending richness. Big deep molasses, light fruitiness, rounded bourbon, soft and sweet. Dense sugars. Slight alcohol in the finish. This is fucking good. That little hint of toasty almond in the finish, the gorgeous barrel. Shit yeah.

US Pint, on tap in a Mendocino Farms place (in El Segundo) on the way to LAX and our flight home on 22nd April 2026. Pours a bright, clean and clear light golden colour, fast fading white crown on the very cold offering. Dry and OK, refreshing and it did go well with the sandwich I had.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours gold with a large creamy white head. The haze was in little bits in suspension. Aroma is a lot of spruce/resin. Med body. Fairly dry and more resin than bitter. Lots of spruce and some citrus. Nice.
