0.33 l bottle from 'Drankgigant.nl', best before August 2029. Pitch black, barely any head. Intensely sweetish-malty, quite roasty, moderately fruity aroma of praline, mocha, toasted hazelnut and some whisky. Heavily sweet, malty, fairly roasty, gently boozy and a little fruity taste of praline, mocha, roasted hazelnut, whisky, brandy, some licorice and a touch of vanilla, followed by a long, fairly roasty-bitter, gently boozy finish. Full body, smooth and oily mouthfeel, almost flat. Delicious brew, a slow sipper, rich and saturating, but relatively pleasant despite its high abv.

Been sitting in the cellar for nearly 10 years. Black with a thin but frothy, beige head. Aroma promises roasted chocolate, oak, and plum juice. Taste is bittersweet with a mild toasted bitterness over a sweet, malty base. Faint, faint berry-like tartness. Body to the full side of medium, very mild carbonation. Mellow and smooth throughout. Good one.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 17.01.2027) im 2025-01 getrunken. Dieses rotbraun Ale kommt mit eine kurzweiligen beigen Schaumkrone daher. Statt typische Bourbon-Aromen durch die Fassreifung überrascht eine deutliche Säure von einem Sauerteig. Am Gaumen kommen malzige Aromen und Rote Früchte dazu. Spannend, aber irgendwie nicht 100% balanciert!
