Pours black, no real head. Scent is a lot of barrel, more so than expected for this 'almost bake kujira' . intense thick chocolate malty base. Taste is thick, roasty, intense chocoalty, syrupy, alcohol heath. tad acidic almost by the malts and barrels. Rum shows in the aroma, but makes the beer a lot sharper. Coconut and vanilla are far less pronounced than expected. To bad, it's definately one of the lesser JWB's, rather than the greatness I expected from it.
Big thanks to Kraddel. 655 ml bottle sampled. Black syrup with little head. Nose is very sweet almond, coconut, wine gummy, rum and slight alcohol. Sweet syrup feel, softer carbonation, coconut with almost vinous wine gummy sweetness, rum, barrel, lingering, vinous character persists which is rather odd but interesting, feels off intention.
Bottle shared with and huge thanks to Kraddel. Near black with a minimal ring tan head. Aroma hugely shows of the oak from the barrel upfront with coconut, big fruity rum, vanilla and milk chocolate. Flavour is heavy sweet with a light moderate sourness. Full bodied with soft carbonation.
