Bottle shared. Pours near black with a ring beige head. Massive woody barrel notes in the aroma, with vanilla, bourbon, milk chocolate, marshmallow, caramel and toffee. Flavour is heavy sweet in a wonderful and completely non-cloying way. Medium thick oily palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

75cl bottle sample via trade with Rado_ @ lucha libre night comes to LeRoeulx. Anno 2013 bottle. Couleur brune foncée, col fin blanc-cassé. Arôme est malté, chocolaté avec un Bourbon juste magnifique, le tout sur des effluves de vanille, léger boisé de chêne avec en rétro qcq pointes de fruits noirs. Palais est épais avec un agréable et complexe profil de Bourbon qui confère de superbes notes de vanille. Le tout est un peu sec sur une pointe d’amertume en toute fin de bouche. Avec ses 12%, la chaleur de l’alcool se ressent pas mal sans pour cela être surfaite. Bière qui se laisse déguster et dont la caractère devient plus complexe au fil de la dégustation et alterne habilement entre Bourbon, malts à la fois chocolaté, grillé et légèrement fruité noir.

Taste is sweet, slightly bitter and malty with roasted malts, burnt caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, dark chocolate, dark roast coffee, charred wood, minerals, raisins, dates, soil and hay. Mouthfeel is soft, round, velvety, tiny boozy and near full bodied. Finish is tiny sweet, bitter and malty with roasted malts, burnt caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, charred wood, black pepper corns, bourbon, raisins, soil and . Incredible beer with a crazy nice barrel treatment. Doesn’t come off as too much or too hot. Just plain tasty with complexity and tastiness that blows you away. --- Beer merged from original tick of Remy's Pappy on 18 Oct 2014 at 16:15 - Score: 9
