Schenkt vrijwel zwart met een kleine bruine kraaf waar weinig van overblijft. Geur van bourbon, geroosterde mout, zoet, vanille. Retronasaal is het boozy, bourbon, zoetig, iets umami ook, hout. Smaak is zoetig tot zoet en iets alcoholfruitig/zurig, tikje geroosted bitterig. Warmende alcohol. Vrij volle body. Afdronk met donkere chocola, iets geroosterde bitterheid.

500ml bottle, 2025 vintage. Caramel aroma with notes of chocolate, dates, hazelnut, vanilla, bourbon and oak. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has little retention and very little lacing. Starts with caramel, dates, chocolate and vanilla flavors as well as having a rich, full body and sticky sweet mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth with hazelnut, bourbon and oak flavors. Nice, but the sweetness is bordering cloying. Looking forward to see what some time in the cellar does…

Bottle.
A- Black color, opaque liquid, minimal brown head.
A- Chocolate sauce, toasted coconut, ginger.
F- Coconut, chocolate, sweet, light ginger.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish.
O- Lots of chocolate dipped coconut candies. I honestly never get tired of BCBS and they always seem to meet expectations. A bit sweet but nice. This one had a year of age on it. Flavors were great.
