Zdominowany beczka taka waniliowa glownie, nieco samego tego bourbona, cialo niezle, slodycz, suszone owoce ciemne, kapka jakiejs przyprawowosci, ktora zostaje na jezyku i daje efekt wysuszania. Czekopumpernikel. Alko rozgrzewa. Klasa, ale zadna topka

Holy whiskey! Good but the barrel character is a bit over the top.

Bottle at the radikal whale slaying. Thnx to Nikos !!! Pours black, small grey head fades rather fast. Smell is intense, bit boozy, oak, definately bourbon. Also rich dark malts underneath. Taste is full, thick, very intense bourbon. Notes of vanilla. intense oak. Rich dark grainy notes. Some chocolate. Shame it’s soo boozy, as that overtakes a lot of the taste. Very nice imperial stout . Rerate, second try now. Even more boozy than the last time, so it seems. Booze takes over so much of the taste, it's getting hard to really enjoy this beer other than to have had the tick. Lowering the score from 4.3, 5o meet up somewhere halfway between both samples and experiences.
