3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 after4ever (5287) - Brier, Washington, USA - FEB 1, 201312-oz at Mikkeller. After many years wishing I could get my hands on some of this stuff, it was a bit of a letdown. Thick, oily, dark brown body. Fairly clear. Flat. Intensely oaky sharp nose, lots of overcooked malt and alcohol fumes fighting with each other, along with some piercing apricot bourboniness. Thick, sludgey body. No real carb. Bitey, twangy mid palate showing dense malt crust, apricots, and vanilla. Managed to finish it but poured a lot for neighboring barstools in the process.

Bouteille de la version 2012, 13,5% alc. Bière brune sans mousse. Au nez tout comme la version nue il y a de l’alcool mais en plus il y a du chêne, du bois, et des planches. La bouche est boisée, un alcool de bois et de bourbon vanillé. La texture est meilleure que sa version nue. Le bourbon enveloppe toute la bouche. Agréable et merci Patrick pour cette dégustation.
