0.75l bottle, ENORMOUS thanks Papsoe! Shared with Ogivlado and Hrabren. Misty chestnut brown body, pretty much no head. Caramel, dried fruit and oxidation, along with, especially initially, soume whiskey barrel notes, evident in the smooth aroma where alcohol subsequently hits a little bit, along with a touch of milk chocolate. Fairly dry taste, dried fruit and caramel leading the way, but well balanced, with some peppery, dusty notes, maybe from the oxidation. The alcohol isn't exactly screaming but is certainly there. Finishes by a light minerally and bitterish touch. Massive, interesting, but not my type necessarily. But it's 17% ffs, and in some aspects impressive for that!
