50cl bottle pours a leggy opaque black with a ring of beige head.  Nose is straight Nutella and licorice, cocoa and plenty of booze and barrel.  Flavor is Nutella and chocolate syrup, but there is a lot of old/aged stout with raisins and fruit cake.  Weird barrel character.  Full bodied, sweet with a long boozy finish.  Overdone.  7 4 6 3 12

Magouns draft, 6/10/23. Heavily hazy, blonde-maize. White head quickly to ring. Lovely, juicy, citrusy hop with a bit of endearing sweat. Sparse cracker malt, clean yeast, no booze, resin. Straightforward juice with a pineapple mango edge and dry, crackery malts. Not sweet, good attenuation. Medium-bodied. Spicy finish. Clean. Ample bitterness. Solid as hell. Perfect expression of everything this hop should be.
