Intense gusher. Pours clear, amber. No real head. Scent is intense, spiced (cardamom? ) not very saison like. Taste is tart, overcarbed, spiced (cardamom, gingerbread) . Thin body. Not great, bonus hatred for ruining my friends phone.

Bourbon barrel aged imperial stout from Argentina, where craft brewing has finally gained a foothold as well, though perhaps not as successfully so (yet) as in neighbouring Brazil. At BCBF ’23. Greyish beige, densely moussy, open head on a jet black beer. Aroma of unsugared black chocolate, moist toast, old wood, black pepper, petrichor, salami, dried chili peppers, bayleaf, cigar ashes. Restrained sweetishness in the onset with old raisin and dried prune impressions, light porcini-like umami, medium carb with full but smooth and not overly syrupy mouthfeel; coffee roastedness in the middle alongside unsugared chocolate, dry caramel and dry old oak wood notes, with peppery hops and somewhat wry, gin-like alcohol showing up in the finish. Dryish, bit ‘ashy’ and consistently bitter ‘oldskool’ stout, in which the vanillin-aromas of oak wood and bittersweet flavours of bourbon are kept altogether subtle – too subtle for this day and age, perhaps. Interesting tick, nonetheless.

Pours black, no real head. Scent is full, chocolate, smooth, syrupy. Taste is sharp, too thin and highly carbonated. Gingerbread. Bit ashy, burnt chocolate. Not great.
