On draft as part of a flight at Global Brew, Evansville. Typical BC look. Aroma is strong praline cookie over bourbon, toffee, earthy malt. Taste is strong praline cookie with emphasis on fruit, bourbon, largely obscuring base stout. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, mild alcohol spice/astringency. Praline is so prevalent as to be a little overpowering. Mild alcohol.

16.9 oz. bottle. Pours black, with a big, rocky, brown head. The nose is dark chocolate, surprisingly hot ginger, coconut cream, and butterscotch toffee. Sweet and sugary, with a burnt, sticky bitterness. Heavy body, syrupy and thick. Kinda hot. Aggressive and interesting.

Elegant as wheat wines can be... this one is bold. Still, after 7 years.

Een van de flessen waarmee Nederland opeens werd overspoeld, tegen zeer schappelijke prijzen. Schenkt zwart met een kleine, maar standvastige bruine kraag. Geur van gebrande koffie, umami, bourbon, hout, zoetig, boozy, alles vormt weer een mooi gebalanceerd geheel. In de mond is er nog wat meer koffie, maar ook wat fruit. Smaak is zoetig (minder zoet dan de standaard BCBS), gebrande koffie, bitterig, boozy, vleugje koffiezuur. Medium tot volle body. Alcohol is wel vrij heet. Lange afdronk met veel koffie, middelmatig bitter.

Bottle at share. Near black pour, paper thin beige head. Woody aroma, earthy, deep roasty notes, boozy. Taste opens with a strong bourbon character, very smooth, solid base of sweet, roasty notes. Burns a bit on the way down. Top notch brew
