From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Picking up plenty of Cabernet, oak, ripe fruits, red fruits, wood. Puckering medium sourness with sweet tones. Body is medium. What Bourbon? But very nice!

8 ounce can from Tavour. Number one with a bullet. Fragrant aroma of melon and citrus. Flavor is dank citrus and pine. Notes of grapefruit, lemon and warming alcohol. Big west coast IPA vibes here. Quite enjoyable!

16.9 oz. bottle. Pours black, with a big, foamy, tan head. The aroma is butter toffee, vanilla, walnut, coriander, brown bread, and figs. Not too sweet, with a mellow, musty bitterness. Very heavy, sticky, and thick. Complex, boozy, and delicious.

My first sample at FoBAB 2025! Category: Strong Porter/Stout. Very dark with the thick legs around the outside. Nice whiskey smell. Lovely thick beer taste. Bourbon right on the tongue.
