Opaque colour, tiny brownish head. Cocoa, vanilla, alcohol in the sweetish nose. Full-bodied. Cocoa, bourbon vanilla, cold coffee, loads of booze. Rough and boozy.

Fruity notes of gooseberry and pineapple, some white grape, some nice loral herbal and floral hoppy interplay with some citrusy lemon coming through as well, light minerals, malty backing, solid hoppy finish. Good stuff.

Bottle shared thanks to Razvan. Black with small head. Massive blueberry jelly, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, maple, fudge. Solid sweet, light sour and bitter. Very thick full body. Meh, not much bourbon, mostly sugar and berries. Not bad overall though.

Bottle shared thanks to Razvan. Black but with some big chunks... Chocolate, maple, vanilla, swrrt malts, blackberries. Quite sweet, light bitter. Thick full bodied. Tasty and thick! Too bad it is chunky.

330 ml bottle. Pours black with very short tan head. Aromas of graham cracker, chocolate nougat, vanilla, maple syrup, sweet bourbon, and slick roasted malts. Flavors of maple syrup, dark berries, acidic chocolate, some oak, maybe some cinnamon, and oily roasted malts. Flavors don't line up with the great aromas. interesting though.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with short tan head. Aromas of sweet caramel, candy sugar, honey, whiskey barrel, and toasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional bready malts and a soft nuttiness which I am guessing is the pistachio. Overall soft, rich and warm. Very good.

330 ml bottle. Pours a bright reddish brown with short foamy head. Aromas of caramel, sweet bourbon, nougat graham cracker, raisins, and doughy malts. Flavors follow same with some vanilla if I think about it. Quite malty but lots of smooth caramel and bourbon to compliment. Great barrel effects. Excellent.

330 ml bottle. Pours almost black with no head. Aromas of chocolate nougat, vanilla, dark berries and slick roasted malts. Flavors follow same with a beautiful dark berry addition that is quite fruity and really complementary. Most excellent.
