UPDATED: JUN 1, 2020 Apparence : Brune foncée, reflets rougeâtres, très léger col brun sans réelle rétention, carbonatation faible.
Nez : Caramel, fruits séchés (raisins secs, dattes), sucre d’orge, vanille, pointe d’alcool. <br Goût : Entrée maltée, sucrée, accompagnée des mêmes fruits séchés, les notes boisées et grillées viennent en seconde vague avec des arômes éthyliques non négligeables qui s’y mêlent en finale.
Sensation : Corps moyen-plus, chaleureuse, longue finale, pointe piquante que j’associe au passage sur le bois (ou serait-ce les épices?)
Bref : Les épices sont bien intégrées, au point que je ne les aurais pas notées n'eut été ma connaissance préalable. C'est sur le malt, les fruits séchés... et peut-être un peu trop l'alcool. Une année de plus en bouteille lui aurait-elle été favorable? Peut-être. Néanmoins, très bonne bière, bien que dispendieuse.

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2020 Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured clear dark brown color with an average frothy tan head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy barrel aged, oatmeal and raisins aroma. Medium to abundant body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy dark dark rich sweet flavor with a moderate to heavy dark boozy sweet finish of medium to long duration. This is a standout beer met my expectations.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2019 375 ml bottle shared with Tmoney99 and wihorock. Pours a dark caramel brown color with a small beige head. The aroma and flavor have dark fruits, raisins, caramel, bourbon, oak, vanilla, cinnamon, light peppery spice, good beer.

UPDATED: DEC 1, 2019 375ml bottle. Opaque, dark brown colour with small, fading, beige head. Sweet-ish, spicy aroma, notes of cinnamon, dark toffee, a touch of Bourbon, herbal liqueur. Taste is sweet-ish, spicy, chocolately dark malty, slightly fruity, notes of cinnamon, hints of dark toffee, raisin, a touch of Bourbon, slowly accumulation peppery spiciness; well hidden alcohol. Oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, soft to flat carbonation. All in all a very nice cinnamon exposition in rather unspecific surroundings.

UPDATED: SEP 14, 2019 Flaska. Mörkt brunröd med beige skum. Kanel, choklad och karamell i doft och smak.

UPDATED: AUG 20, 2019 Bottle at home. Very dark brown, creamy light beige head. Dried fruits like figs and raisins, roasted malty milky chocolate, coffee, coconut flakes, nutty, vanilla, caramel, a tat vinous, some cinnamon, faint pepper, quite boozy bourbon, lightly bitter and spicy; quite complex and nuanced , but not incredibly balanced. Nice roasted malty linger, bourbon too. Good body, soft carbonation.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2019 Bottle. Hazy brown color with beige head. Aroma is caramel, chocolate, raisins, cinnamon indeed. Taste is cinnamon stick, raisins, chocolate, a bit of a chili catch. Silky mouthfeel with high carbonation. A bit overattenuated, but that's part of the style I guess.

UPDATED: JUN 12, 2019 Bottle courtesy of the RB group München, Wednesday 12th June 2019. Pours hazy chestnut colour with not much head. Lots of dried fruit, soaked in booze, the bourbon barrel ageing is good. Sweet, soft mouthfeel, boozy edge starts to rub around the gums. Good.

UPDATED: JUN 12, 2019 Bottle. Boozy bourbon aroma. Cloudy dark brown, medium full chewy, light foam, orange peel, a bit booze, alright bourbon, almond, nice pralines, a bit cherry, sparkly finish.

UPDATED: JUN 12, 2019 Darkest brown. Aroma is raisins, cocoa, chocolate, cinnamon, fig. Taste is intense raisins with cinnamon. A little boozy but a nice finish of caramel raisins and fig. Quite nice. Slow drinker!
