Bouteille 50cl à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci.
Anno 2021. Noire, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bouquet qui reprend les grandes lignes de ce gros stout de Bourbon County – toujours la maîtrise de la barrique avec de fins effluves de vanille avec en retrait un rétro-nasal épicé – cannelle, réglisse/anisé, vanille, barrique – caramel, toffee, chocolat.
Palais est profond malté – profond, barrique plaisant avec une petite note d’épices en fin de bouche rappelant la cannelle, girofle, coriandre et léger réglisse avec une douceur de barrique qui tend à donner qcq indications de vanille.

Can shared at "ZZT nieuw leven in blazen"-tasting. Opaque black color, small to average sized dark brown colored head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma and flavor are malts, soft roast, red fruit, a light cherry stone bitterness, distant chocolate hint. Okay.

The aromas are slightly skanky malt, MJ and stone fruit. Flavors are similar to nose. Add in a bit of pineapple. Mildly sweet up front with a bitter finish. Not too balanced. Drinkable but I wouldn't want another.
