kevinsenn (3112) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 1, 2020UPDATED: FEB 1, 2020 Bottle, don't remember from where. Rich vanilla bourbon aroma with a hint of smoke. Taste of grapes, vanilla, dried fruits, bourbon. Pretty good but I'd like more robust roasty/chocolate notes.
Idiosynkrasie (13823) - Bielefeld, GERMANY - DEC 31, 2019UPDATED: DEC 31, 2019 355ml bottle. Quasi black colour with small, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Roasty, chocolately, dark malty aroma, hints of oak, a touch of cocoa and coffee, vanilla overtones. Taste is bitter, roasty dark malty, slightly bitter hoppy, tannic oaky, slightly alcoholic, hints of Bourbon, vanilla, a slightly alcohol-amalgamated herbal touch, a cautious touch of chocolate, cocoa and coffee. Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate. Quite rich, but a bit disharmonious, edged, brutish, out-of-round.
ciocanelu (4480) - Timisoara, ROMANIA - APR 10, 2019UPDATED: APR 10, 2019 Dark brown color with fizzy, short lived cola head. Aroma has sweet/tart dark fruit notes with some bourbon and fudge. Taste is a bit tart and fruity with burnt sugar and woody bitterness. Medium body with medium minus carbonation. It's not bad but quite weird to be this tart for a bourbon barrel. If it was wine barrel aged, it would be understandable. Probably I got and infected bottle.
