Bottle thanks to Dan. Poured a clear gold with a white head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma had a bit of a musty lager yeast note with a bit of sweet backing grains. Flavor had a combination of grass and sweet malts with a bit of a mustiness in the finish/aftertaste.

Growler pours courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Pours darkness with tall light mocha head. Very nice looking beer. The aroma is bourbon, oaky wood notes, oaky spiciness, chocolate, black licorice and a touch of yeasty spiciness. The taste is a bit on the bright side with punchy spicy oak moving into bourbon, black licorice, yeasty spices and then growing chocolate notes. Into the finish a mild amount of spicy yeast makes it to the surface.

growler partagé avec Jcwattsrugger. De couleur brune foncée, mousse est beige. Arôme note de pomme et cerise, pas mal de bourbon, chocolat est la quoique ce dernier reste bien caché. Goût, définitivement une présence de levure belge laissant qcq impression d’esters et un palais dont les notes de tonneau de Bourbon sont un peu trop prononcées. On peut y rajouter une fine note de vanille et de chocolat qui fait son apparition très timidement.
