UPDATED: JAN 21, 2021 Bottle of 33cl, in a Trappist glass; room-temperature. We're in front of dark beer with a light, small beige head. The aroma are mainly the sweet bourbon ones, as the main taste. Some yeasty aftertaste. Really delicate.

UPDATED: AUG 14, 2020 De botella en Malte. Bonito color caoba con levísimo halo de espuma color beige. Intenso aroma malteado, a cacao y caramelo, madera, alcohol, cierto toque a salsa de soja. En boca es oleosa, picante, destaca el fuerte sabor a cacao bien combinado con el ardor alcohólico y un dulzor acaramelado. Interesantes toques a madera y a viejo, a humedad como de bodega. Retrogusto ardiente e intenso, recuerdos a caramelo y especias.

UPDATED: JUL 17, 2020 Dark, aromas of molasses, umami and a little yeast. Sweet and lightly sticky, a touch of cocoa and rye bread, a little earthy and vegetal.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2020 I am down to the last couple of beers sent to me by good friend Benzai last fall. So it is with pleasure that I have a 33 cl bottle of M & M (BBA) for sampling this evening. The standard version has been tasted before, one of my first with De Molen, and I liked it considerably. Can barrel aging make an improvement? My ABGB tulip glass from Austin is out for this one. The appearance is a dark mahogany brown finished with a the barest ring of light tan foam around the rim of the glass. An inspirational scent, I determine dark chocolate and some booziness. The taste tops the smell. Caramel, baking chocolate, dark plum, bourbon, sorghum molasses, what more can an imperial stout need. A high level brew indeed. Thanks Rene.

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2020 Drunk in 2018. Red wine, apples, white pepper, coconut, light sour cucumber, medium body. Chocolate and roast make their appearance in the finish. Slightly infected and not too intense. Merely decent.

UPDATED: FEB 28, 2019 33cl bottle (bottled 15/09/2016) from Struise Bruges Beershop in Brugge. F: thin, pale tanned, not long lasting. C: black, totally opaque. A: a lot of chocolate, cocoa, vinous, woody, dark dried fruits, dark caramel. T: chocolate, cocoa, red wine, woody, dark cherries, bourbon, vanilla, warming alcohol, earthy, full complex body, lower carbonation, great one, fully enjoyed.

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2018 A small bottle from Liberty in Vancouver. A dark beer with almost no carbonation and a heady, magnificent nose of bourbon, cocoa, and caramel. Wow! Now to the palate, and here it does not disappoint. Great sweet syrupy notes as on the nose, and maybe a bit of molasses as well. Lovely 😊 4.4
