Profil de dégustation
The nose opens with intense dark chocolate and espresso, layered with bourbon-soaked vanilla, dried figs, and a whisper of tobacco leaf. On the palate, viscous waves of blackstrap molasses and dark caramel meld with roasted malt complexity, while oak tannins provide structured backbone. Bourbon barrel influence brings warming vanilla custard and toasted coconut notes. The finish is remarkably long and warming, with lingering dark chocolate, charred oak, and a subtle raisin sweetness that balances the 16.5% alcohol with impressive grace and integration.
Accords avec les aliments
Pair with a dark chocolate torte featuring salted caramel and hazelnuts, where the beer’s roasted malt and bourbon characteristics complement the dessert’s richness while cutting through its sweetness. Alternatively, serve alongside aged Stilton or Roquefort with candied walnuts—the beer’s viscosity and warming alcohol balance the cheese’s sharp, creamy intensity while echoing its complex umami depth.
