Bottled. An unclear brown beer with a lazing thin brown head. The aroma has notes strong notes of malt, chocolate, tobacco, raisins, and some fruits.

Dark brown with a medium beige head. Sweet aroma with bourbon, roasted malt, chocolate and caramel notes. Flavour had bourbon, coffee, chocolate, caramel, vanilla and woody notes. Finished sweet and full.

Bottle thanks to an american couple that shared them in the rake. Alround rating: Roasty, very sweet and nutty, massive bourbon character which makes it even sweetter, theres some ash in here and the alcohol is far from subtle. Not a win.

Bottle (#195)... This beer rocks!... Pours murky and dark brown with a mid-sized, wispy, khaki head that diminishes to a single-bubble layer of a tight, white crown. Fantastic retention. The aroma is a rich, robust swirl of vanilla, sourmash, coconut and milk chocolate. Full-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and modest carbonation. The flavor is very much that of an “old ale” – vanilla, caramel and mild sourmash – rich, luxurious and malty. Worth every penny spent. Absolute malt and sourmash bomb. In a year, it will be even better, but why wait? Well done, boys, well done!
