On a flight in O'Sheas tap room, Laguna Niguel on 18th January 2023. Black body, no real head, just a beige collar. Intense coffee esters and flavour with a side of boozy goodness. This is a lovely 'sipper', rich, smooth and made to drink slowly.

Shared with Bryce - heavy hazelnut in the nose. But more balanced chocolate in the taste. Not overpowering barrel here. Good coffee notes. Silky oily goodness.

Bottle from a friend. Black with beige head. Loads of amburana in both taste and aroma. Some chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla and a bit of coconut. Too woody for me.

Bottle from a friend. Black with no head. Aroma is loads of coins/metal, oaky barrel, booze and liquorice. Taste is similar with some ash, chocolate and roast. Too metallic and too thin to hold the barrels.

375ml bottle. Sweetish and heavy with some creamy vanilla and syrup with some wheaty bourbon and hints of licorice. A bit unbalanced but not bad
