A nightcap. Pitch black and opaque, not so surprisingly, I guess. Moderately carbonated, as evidence of which goes a limited bronze head of one finger. The foamy lid melts soon to a neat ring in the sides. Beautiful date in the scent. Definitely not timid. I like it! Bourbon, vanilla, toffee, raisin and cacao nibs join the monologue right thereafter. Gorgeous! Gives a strongly sweet promise. Can't wait to have the first sip! My goodness! This is sweet! Big time! I wasn't prepared for this but no can do. Gotta roll! Date, roasted caramel, maple syrup, vanilla, raisin, toffee, a proposal of cacao nibs... Bourbon is ample, sweet fruity and caramelly. Lovely!  🖤🖤🖤  This could easily be confused with a Barley Wine. I had to check the label for adjuncts but – to my big surprise – there are none. The label specifically says “pure barrel aged beers, no additions, no blending, just the beer and the barrel”. Such a tempting collection is not straightforward to be created with adjuncts, let alone with malts and barrel aging only! And the sweetness! How is it possible to get 11 % and super high residual sugars at the same time? What's their secret? I wanna know (and copy it...)! The body? Can it be anything else than full? Nope. It is full. Yes. The tail is a repetition of what I have already described as the main package. A bit of narrowing but basically the same sweet slam is there. The impression is full, sappy, sticky, chewy and gooey. Deep and rich. Even somewhat complex. Absolutely desserty and candy-like. Barrel aging is recognizable, as well. A very well crafted piece that gives a seductive impression of generous application of adjuncts when there are none. That's what I call a masterpiece! I'm in awe. 🖤🖤🖤
