Bottled. Deep rubyish brown colour with a mediumsized creamy off-white head, which leaves some lace and lasts for a good while. Aroma is chocolate, some coconut, mild herbal notes with some nutty and slight roasted notes as well. Flavour is chocolate, coconut, some nutty and mild roasted notes. A bit tobacco in the finish too along with the chocolate and roast.

Bottled. Black colour, mediumsized brown creamy head. Aroma is bourbon, some vanilla, mild liquorice as well as some roasted and mild ashy notes. Flavour is very similar, but also has some ripe dark dry fruits and mild syrupy notes to it. Balanced, big and bold. Vanilla gets more evident as it warms up a bit.

Can, huge thanks either Mowbeer or Tony K for sharing. Brownish body, off white head. Chocolate, lavender and minty notes in the aroma, fairly along the lines of what one might have expected from this. Lean taste, mint chocolate, citric notes, lavender is lighter here, ends a bit dry and bitterish. Very much interesting!

Koekjes en zachte bourbon, wat chocola. Ietwat dun, maar 8.5% verklaart dat wel, zonder leeg te zijn. Fijn bier
