Sample, thanks fonefan! Black, small head. Bourbony caramel aroma. Very sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Maple syrup, caramel and licorice. Lots of bourbon. Very sweet. But thankfully never cakey.

Pint Bottle from Benny’s Place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured almost black in colour with a round frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty, vanilla. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter and sweet, with a rich, somewhat smooth, roasty, aromatic, liquorice.nutty, warm boozy alcohol bitter finish. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

From Beer Drop, no canning date that I can find.
Pours black with a small head of tan foam. Lacing is better than retention.
Smell is chocolate, yeah fudge, vanilla, mild lactose.
The taste is chocolate sweet, fudge with vanilla, roasted malt, some kind of pitted fruit. Alcohol is there but it is not intrusive.
High end of medium bodied if not outright full bodied, I would drink this again.

2025 bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a viscous deep brown to black with a small bit of beige head that lingers. Lots of floaties and bubbly carbonation after the pour. Aromas of sweet marshmallow, milk chocolate and graham. Barrel character seems faded in the background. Palate is similar with sweet pastry stout notes. Lingering marshmallow and milk chocolate on the finish.

Reviewed from notes.
Thanks Jim.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy orange to copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some mild lace
Aroma: papaya to lime to piney and mango fruity hops with extra citrusy hop notes; light clean malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas bittersweetly with a touch of juiciness in there; subtle finish of the mango, papaya and pine
Texture: medium bodied; between being a sipper and being sessionable, fairly smooth along the tongue
Overall: pretty nicely done DIPA I wouldn't mind returning to if ever given the chance.

Aromas are citrus, malt, with a bit of resin and MJ. Flavors are similar to nose with slightly soft carbonation. Not bad not great.

On tap at Biererei Bar & Vintage Cellar, Saturday 24th January 2026 in the company of Nick, Anna, Charlie, Sarah, Ryan and Honey. Pours pitch black with a head that rapidly departed. Super thick mouthfeel, sticky and big barrel aged notes. Honey and treacle, there's a little bitterness, chocolate and bourbon combine. Very good. Score 8.0
