Schenkt nogal donker, diep donkerbruin/rood, wel helder, en een beige kragg die snel inzakt. Geur van toffee, bourbon, rood fruit, toch nog wel wat koffie bij het walsen. Retronasaal is het zoet, rood fruit, bourbon, toffee, houtig en ook weer een vleugje koffie roast. Smaak is vrij zoet, tannines, lichte bitterheid. Body is vrij vol. Zachte koolzuurprikkeling, warmende alcohol, maar niet scherp. Lange afdronk met wat hout en licht bitter.

Brown bottle (US Pint and 0.9 fl oz's), why can't they say how much is in there? Anyway it's just as lovely as every other years version I've tried. Rich, decadent and a joy to sip and savour. 2nd April 2026 at my daughters in Laguna Hills, bought from Costco of all places!

Small russet rim over pitch-black beer. Leathersoap, dark red (dried) fruit, chocolate, Pim's cake, whiff of benzene, oatmeal (yes). Dark chocolate and indeed orange and orangepeel. Chocolatewafers. Again dried dark fruit, raisins, plums. Precious treated leather. Viscous as liqueur. Almost no carbonation; chewy, syrupy. Undoubtedly a unique beer, well worth trying. But then myself, I was never a fan of the combination chocolate and orange, alas.

Bottle at home. Opaque pitch black color, small off-white to beige head, less brown than I had expected. Aroma and flavor are malts, bourbon heavily, raisins a bit, soy sauce, sweet and bitter simultaneously. Thick texture. Solid beer but heavy.
