"As soon as you inhale the rich and sweet aromas you realize that this beer means business. Chocolate covered coffee beans, raisins, dates, toffee and American whiskey. It evolves and continues changing.
In mouth it's unctuous and slick, with a big burst of prunes, blackcurrant and dark caramel quickly followed by an assertive roast character that mildly dries the palate and brings balance. This balance provides drinkability and a less sweet finish on this massive brew.
The finish is rich and slightly boozy and the bourbon plays its part and complements. Honestly what a ride that was, certainly one of the most complex and perhaps best dark ales we've ever tried at Carwyn." -Tito Orellana, Carwyn Cellars
