Acquired in a trade. Bomber split 3 ways at 35F and allowed to warm up. Enjoyed in a Teku Glass.
A - Small head leaving a small line. This is really dark. totally black, oily, booze legs on the glass.
S - this smells insane! I'v never smelt so much maple syrup in a beer. Is this 50% maple syrup? milk chocolate, tons of vanilla
T - This is overwhelmingly whiskey / bourbon. it's actually robust old coffee, oak charr to the extreme and an overwhelming amount of sweetness.
M - Really thin and oily, the lingering smoke flavor and maple wood is a downer
O - This is intense, more intense than the ABV would suggest. Not very balanced for what Cycle has presented in the past.
Thanks to ElManana+1! Bomber sampled @ RBBSG17. Black, tanned head. Nose is cacao, chocolate, bourbon syrup, mocha, cacao nibs all the way, syrup, sugar. Taste is ridiculously sweet but delicious hazelnut & cacao nibs syrup, mocha, faint molasses, maple, pralines. So bloody thick & so near overkill but it still rules.
