UPDATED: DEC 26, 2021 Karácsony második napján egy újabb, 2019-es évjáratú darabot emeltem ki a sajátkezűleg, önmagam számára beszerzett ajándékaim közül, a festői szépségű palackokat gyártó Fremont kínálatából, egy korábban már megismert winter ale személyében. Ez esetben kávé és fahéj emelte ki az ital egyébként is télies karakterét, amelynek kortyolása közben a körülmények is ideálisnak tűntek, a tegnap leesett havat a hőmérséklet maradandóvá tette, így járulva hozzá minden szereplő az ünnep utolsó napjának meghittségéhez. Bár ismerősek a sör jegyei: tölgyes, kakaós, vaníliás aromák karolnak egymásba, melyekhez leginkább ízében csatlakozik a fahéj finoman fűszeres és a kávé robusztus hangulatot árasztó karaktere, az ünnep öröme minden kortyot különlegesebbé tesz, bearanyozza a perceket, amik az egyébként sem mindennapi ital fogyasztása során telnek el. Bár minden napra juthatna belőlük!

UPDATED: DEC 21, 2021 2019 Bottle from Tavour, 12/21/21. Pours a dark brown color with a medium brown head and moderate lace. Nice aroma of bourbon / vanilla, roasted coffee, cinnamon. All are nicely balanced. Boozy, but not too boozy. Not too sweet. Mildly bitter. Rich, flavorful, and quality. At 14% it is dangerous, but still enough of a sipper (and tasty both cold and closer to room temp), that it drinks great. B-Bonb is one of those beers I feel like I've been hearing about for many many years, and I think it lives up to the hype. Coffee and cinnamon work great with the base beer. Really nice stuff. 8/4/9/4/18

UPDATED: JUN 6, 2021 Flaska från Beer Republic, 2019. Bruntsvar med brunbeige krona. Kryddig, ganska skarp arom av kaffesump och kanel. Nästan lite aska. Torrare, mellanstor kropp. Väldigt skarp kanel och kaffe även i smaken, tillsammans med anis, fat och choklad. Nästan lite svårt att känna grundölen för smaksättningen. Kanelen ger en kanske lite väl torr och stram känsla.

UPDATED: APR 17, 2021 Aspetto: impenetrabile color mogano scuro tendente al nero, schiuma cremosa color beige dalla ottima persistenza. Impeccabile. Olfatto : cannella, caramello, cioccolato, caffè, cuoio, vaniglia, legno, bourbon. Eleganza ed equilibrio. Gusto: melassa e caramello, cioccolato, cannella, note torrefatte di caffè e malto, vaniglia, sentori di legno, cuoio, tabacco, bourbon. Retrogusto di dolce natalizio al cioccolato e caffè spolverato di cannella. Sensazione: la cannella piacevolmente pizzica una bevuta rotonda e vellutata costantemente abbracciata da un gentile calore etilico di bourbon. Un disarmante equilibrio tra dolcezza ed amaricatura. Un affinamento in botti elegantissimo. Corpo: pieno ma non ingombrante ne masticabile, rotondo e morbido, carbonazione media e fine.
