UPDATED: NOV 7, 2021 Schiuma cremosa e fine color beige, corpo ebano con riflessi amaranto. Profumo di caffè e cioccolato, tosature di malto e cocco, vaniglia, caramello, prugna e ciliegia, lieve tabacco e bourbon. Ingresso goloso con melassa, frutta scura disidratata, cocco e vaniglia e accenno di liquirizia, successivamente le note delle tostature ed una delicata amaricatura assieme alla componente etilica placano la dolcezza. Finale dove il cocco timidamente si riaffaccia accompagnato da un rubusto ed elegante abbraccio di bourbon. Corpo medio pieno molto vellutato con bassa carbonazione.

UPDATED: MAR 2, 2021 2019 bottle thanks to AJ. Pours black with medium beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong toasted coconut, vanilla, wood, bourbon, and dark chocolate. Slick body, roasted malt, dark chocolate, coconut, vanilla, boozy finish, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.

UPDATED: DEC 21, 2020 65 cl bottle, served in a snifter. Poured dark Brown, almost black with two finger tan head. Aroma: Chocolate, toasted coconut, bourbon, vanilla, coffee, caramel, roasted nuts, toffee, plums, raisins. Taste: dark chocolate, toasted coconut, espresso beans, vanilla, bourbon, charred oak, caramel, toffee, candycane, muscovado sugar, nutmeg, plums, sultana, Christmas pudding, dried dark fruit, oatmeal raisin cookies. Oily mouthfeel. Medium to full body with a roasted bittersweet finish. The coconut is present but very subtle. At least it is a natural flavour and not stuffed with all kinds of artificial additives which seems to be a trend today among brewers. Awesome complex tastes is what you're getting here due to a fantastic barrel aging program. Fantastic brew!

UPDATED: DEC 6, 2020 Bomber style bottle shared by Highendtully. Garage is the less than ideal setting in the winter. Molasses appearance...looks like a dark cola. Aroma is beautiful... coconut, dark chocolate, and dark fruit. Taste brings in plenty of bourbon with caramel and chocolate leading the way before an overflow of coconut. Boozy characteristics are hard to ignore. Rich and indulgent. Absolutely delicious but definitely one for small doses. Bourbon notes more prevalent as it warms.

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2020 Black color, small brown head. Aromas of bourbon, coconut, cacao, vanilla, alcohol and caramel. Taste of bourbon, coconut, vanilla, cacao and slight alcohol.

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2020 On tap at Taplands in San Jose. Deep rich black color. Interesting body: medium to low viscosity, but high sweetness, a great combination. Lots of coconut, vanilla barrel character. Sweet toffee and caramels. Bitterness hidden by sweetness. Excellent.
