Taboada (4683) - Compostela (Galiza), SPAIN - NOV 26, 2021

wetherel (3694) - Cupertino, California, USA - OCT 26, 2021
UPDATED: OCT 26, 2021 $30 bottle from Santa Clara liquors. Pours black with very thick bottle. Nice medium plus bourbon boozy aroma. Leans sweet, but at a nice level, not over the top. I can’t taste any lactose. Vanilla and coconut barrel notes are hard to detect. Pretty good (because it is barrel aged) but not among the best (and therefore not worth $30).

UPDATED: SEP 17, 2021 Draft at City Beer pours darkest brown with a small tan head. Bourbon chocolate vanilla aroma. Huge chocolatey vanilla bourbon flavor, on the sweet side. Fairly full and syrupy but an unbelievably smooth mouthfeel. Very nice.

vcsa (341) - - MAR 6, 2020
UPDATED: MAR 6, 2020 vintage 2019 Appearance: Pours opaque dark brown to black with creamy brown head, no lacing. 外观:深棕黑色,不透明。细腻的棕色泡沫,无挂杯。 4/5 Aroma: Toasted malt, chocolate, mocha, soy sauce, molasses, caramel, vanilla and cinnamon, with hints of sandalwood. 气味:烘烤麦芽、巧克力、摩卡咖啡、酱油、糖蜜、焦糖、香草和肉桂,还伴有些许檀 Chocolate malty flavors balanced with bourbon oak. Sweetness is heavy but not cloying, with an alcohol burn. Lingering bitter warming finish with dark chocolate and spice. 味道:巧克力、麦芽风味与波本桶味形成平衡。重甜但并不腻,伴有酒精灼热感。尾韵持久而温暖 Full bodied, soft carbonated. Oily texture, smooth. 口感:酒体饱满,杀口感柔和。有油润感,顺滑。 5/5 Overall Just the right amount vanilla, with impressive woody notes. Maybe a bit over sweet and boozy for others, but not a problem for me. 香草的量控制的不多不少,更有令人印象深刻的木香。也许对其他人来说甜度和酒精感过重了点,但对我
