Pours black, very gluggy, thin head. Big bourbon smell, some sweetness. Super soft and thick mouthfeel. Taste is awesomely rich. Quite sweet, plenty of honey and bourbon, and some light umami that works well with it. Some chocolate. Dangerously easy.

Vintage 2017 (one-off);Very harmonious aroma with surprisingly moderate to medium sweetness from toasted sugars, brown, molasses, honey
Sweet BA loveliness
Bottle shared. Pours black with a brownish head. Aromas of honey, vanilla, fudge, light roast, caramel. Taste has lots of honey, caramel, milk chocolate, vanilla, lightly oxidized barrel notes. Tastes more like a strong ale than a porter.
Bottled. Black with brief, tan head. Vanilla, coffee, figs, bourbon. A bit warming. On the sweeter side with loads of brown sugar, some molasses. Short, mildly warming finish.
15 December 2018. Black Beer Fest, Ieper. Cheers to Anke, Erwin & Ama Deke! Hazy black with a small, unstable, frothy, tan head. Intense aroma of apple, calvados, vanilla, wood, burnt caramel, candied plum & orange, dough, honey & syrup, bourbon. Taste is medium to heavy malty sweet, lots of honey, syrup, apple & creamy vanilla, sweet in an uncompromising kind of way; only countered by a light roasted bitterness with nuts, fondant, faint mocha, woody touch. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, lingering syrup, 'woody vanilla', on the verge of cloying, warming bourbon alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Probably too sweet for some people, I can easily enjoy this.
From tap at the Muted Horn, Berlin. Dark brown to black color with beige brown head. Malty aroma, roasted, dark dried fruits, raisins, plums, caramel fudge, honey notes, chocolate, licorice, vanilla, alcohol. Heavy sweet and light bitter taste. Medium oily body with soft carbonation.
Bottle thanks to George. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong honey, roast, cocoa, bourbon, oak. Slick body, roast, dark chocolate, honey, vanilla, oak, boozy finish, very nice.
