Can picked up from a small beer and tobacco shop in Primošten, Croatia and consumed at Scott and Mandy's, Dumbleton, Glos/Worcs border Fri 10th October 2025, shared this with dad. Pours shark eye black with a small tan coloured head. The nose is very much bourbon dominant but actually not overpowering, there is also elements of chocolate and a light waft of coffee also. It's a little bit boozy, nice roasted malt, the bourbon again, chocolate, vanilla, btw nice mouthfeel. it's a nice beer.
