mcberko Profile

473mL can, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of rich dark chocolate, vanilla beans, bourbon barrels, and plenty of dark sugar. Flavour is very rich, with intense chocolate, vanilla, big bourbon barrels, some spicy whiskey, and some booze. Deep, rich chocolate, heavy bourbon barrels, and sugars that are complemented by the booze. Excellent.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown, almost no head. Aroma has plenty of Belgian yeast, candied sugar, some alcohol, and bourbon barrels. Flavour is fairly sweet, with lots of bourbon barrels, candi sugar, booze, and some dark dried fruits. The malt depth just isn’t there to carry this, and the palate is on the thinner side, but the sugars are nice and the barrel character is also quite good. Not convincing as a quad and lacking some complexity, but it’s a pleasant miscellaneous sweet bourbon strong ale.

750mL bottle, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of cognac barrels, wonderfully complex Belgian yeast, toasted chestnuts, and bready caramel. Flavour is wonderfully complex, with lots of Belgian yeast, bready caramel, dark dried fruits, and just enough cognac barrels. Really complex, with a wonderful yeast expression and great barrel accentuation. Excellent.
