Nightcap and the end of the vacation. Tomorrow: back to work 😒 The beer looks translucent, chestnut brown. Very barleywiney. Lazy carbonation. A feeble beige lacing disappears fairly quickly from the surface. Powerful date in the scent. Style compatible. Bold vanilla echoes the Bourbon barrel. Raisin, dried plum, brown sugar and cacao nibs dance in the background. The tongue likes the intensive flavors: overwhelming Bourbon, bags of accompanying vanilla, harsh oak barrel notes, sweet date, brown sugar, raisin and a twist of cacao nibs. Alcohol is not hiding but rather obvious among the elements. The body is full. The tail is alcoholic, and a tad chemical. It's strong, intense, full, deep and barrel aged. Not raw but not particularly mature either. A manageable albeit arrogant piece.
