Tap@Mikeller & Friends, Copenhagen - Black pour with beige ringed head. Dark roasted and sweet malty aroma with notes of caramel and chocolate, opulent notes of bourbon and cognac coalescing into the close.

Caramel, chicory, raisins, espresso, tobacco, figs, gnarly blend of flavors.

Tap at MBCC. Jet black pour with a beige head. It’s packed with notes of bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, booze, coffee and nuts. Might not be the most complex beer I’ve had but it’s incredibly rich and intense, it’s heavy af, a true sipper.

Bottle pour at Kraft. Valami elkepesztoen zsenialis ahogy a hordos jegyek mutatjak magukat, szepen lassan nyilik ki, de erdemes idot adni neki. Hihetetlenul intenziv, balanszos, a bourbon fantasztikusan van integralva az alap sorbe. Klasszis.

Bottle pour at Kraft. A Heaven Hill verziotol talan minimalisan elmarad intenzitasban es komplexitasban, plusz mintha a teste is egy leheletnyivel vekonyabb lenne. Ezeket leszamitva (illetve ezekkel egyutt is) viszont meg mindig zseni, suru, csokis, bourbonos-mogyoros.

Still really like this, tons of chocolate and hazelnut, hints of barrel make it out, maybe still my favorite cycle beer.

22 oz. bottle, pours jet black with almost no head. Aroma is loaded with dry roasted hazelnuts, big bourbon barrels, and a touch of banana. Flavour is remarkably complex and rich, with rich roasted hazelnuts, gentle banana, and wonderful bourbon barrels that bring it all together. I’m always weary of banana in stouts, but this works wonderfully well. Love the hazelnut character, which seems to dry things out a bit. Not too sweet at all. Beauty.
