sdriessen (318) - Dunedin, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 14, 2010
Nice dark, ruby hue. Aromas of chocolate, sweet bourbon, malt, spice, vanilla, alcohol. Flavours assault the palate (in a good way) - lots of bourbon. Smoky, cocoa, black malt bitternes. Lots of alcohol. Finishes a bit salty. I Love this beer.

Medium body with sweetish roasted malt, vanilla and some oak also. The finish is soft with a very subdued bitterness. 190608
