UPDATED: JUL 25, 2021 Black with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, wood, caramel. Full bodied, warming, moderate sweetness. Nicely balanced but nothing stands out except the price.

UPDATED: NOV 16, 2019 Holy crap, how have I never rated this? Bottle acquired in 2015 at the earliest...it was just in a basement 20 miles away for the last 4+ years and I found it and was like, 'huh?' anyway, it pours really thick. thicker than an 11% beer should. espressoo color head. aroma is chocolate chip cookies. very creamy frothy thick mouthfeel. quite lovely. very sweet.probably won't finish the entire bomber. little bits of vanilla along with a good whiskey flavor. finish is sweet licorice and maple syrup.

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2019 23/II/19 - 1Pt. 6Fl. Oz. bottle @ 1st Belgian Beer Geek Gathering (formerly known as Belgian Ratebeer Gathering), BB: n/a - (2019-293) Thanks to ElManana+1 for sharing the beer! Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige to brown head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: alcohol, lots of dark chocolate, some coffee, bourbon, sweet impression with vanilla and caramel notes. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: bit roasted, sweet, alcohol, lots of dark chocolate, some vanilla, more alcohol. Aftertaste: bitter, dry, cocoa powder, chocolate, sugary touch.

UPDATED: MAR 17, 2019 23 February 2019. (Tasting formerly known as) RBBWG. Cheers to all, thanks Kraddel for the hospitality! Cloudy black with a lasting, very thin, dark beige head. Deep aroma of vanilla, custard, cream, mocha, brownie, praliné, hazelnut paste, faint soy sauce, candied plum, fig, bourbon. Taste is medium malty sweet, quite chocolatey with a bit of a 'powdery' effect, touch of hazelnut paste too; only subtly balanced by a light roasted bitterness that has mocha, (roasted) nuts, pepper & cinnamon; fruity notes of dried fig & raisin & slightest touch of umami soy in the back. Dryish, peppery hoppy finish, lingering vanilla, chocolate, and the expected warming dash of bourbon alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. More 'drinkable' than expected, softer than the DeCicco Version I had next to it, but still lots of flavours to enjoy of course.

UPDATED: MAR 15, 2019 23/02/2019 - shared on BBGG @Kraddel's place. Dark brown, dark tanned head. Nose is heavy roast, chocolate. Taste is gentle dark malts, chocolate, creamy, hazelnuts, bitter roast ending.

UPDATED: JAN 26, 2019 Pours coffee sable with a nice tan head. Aroma presents roast malt, molasses, bourbon and subtle woody tones. Flavor features sweet chocolate, molasses, roast malt and charred hops. Texture offers firm, smooth body and perky fizz. Get yer biscotti!

Dark brown. Not much head. There's some chocolate, some barrel, and a touch of vanilla. Medium body, light chocolate, slight toffee. Fair bit of soy sauce, barrel, alcohol.

Tasting at Oakes' Manor
Pitch black colour. Mild aroma: chocolate, marzipan, rubber. The flavour is also marzipan chocolate, a bit artificial, some vanilla, the bourbon seems to have become something else, moderate sweetness. Very phenolic. Rather chaotic.

650ml bottle at Josh&Sunshine place. Very dark brown, beige head. Aroma is molasses, some soy sauce, bourbon. Taste is quite sweet, similar aroma. Good one.
