nickd717 (6006) - San Francisco, California, USA - OCT 6, 2019UPDATED: OCT 6, 2019 Finally ticked this, embarrassingly overdue. I'm sure everyone REALLY cares. Very dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is chocolate, nuts, molasses, vanilla, roast, coffee, booze. Flavor is sweet, lots of caramel/toffee malts as well as roast/coffee. Significant booze. Smooth slick full feel with lighter carb. Not the top tier of Firestone vintages, but mid-tier of this series is still awesome.

Aroma was a nice mix of brandy and bourbon. Taste had the bourbon and brandy, plus chocolate, dark fruit, sugary sweetness and wood. Finish was slighty dry and boozey.

Chocolate, oak, leather, molasses, dried fruits, mild warming alcohol, hint of tobacco. Can really taste both the Parabola and Stickee Monkee parts of the blend. Excellent, but I like the XX slightly more.

dojken (1089) - SWEDEN - AUG 6, 2018Flaska!
Doftar fantastiskt av muscovadosocker bourbon ekfat o läder. Lite kaffe hittar jag också. Mycket smaker som avrundas med en behaglig liten beska. Riktigt gott
