I grabbed this when my buddy K and I were visiting our friend S in ZA (Knysna).
They got married today/yesterday. This is in their honour!!
The pour is a deep molasses brown that's not black, but definitely a very very dark brown. Nice little grey brown head that stays as a bubbly drift and fuzz.
Nose has a sweet caramelized marshmallow lead in, that fades to give way to some dark fruit, some dark chocolate, some spice, maybe a bit of licorice, and almost like some mint or something...
Flavour is of the like reverse order of the aroma: that menthol-y impression starts us off from the hops, with a touch of anise/licorice, some dark fruit (prune, plum), a touch of bakers chocolate that blossoms on the tongue joining the vanilla of the barrel to create a really pleasant finish.
Lightly fuzzy carbonation sits atop a body that's a bit on the thin side. The barreling adds a nice warmth, but not too much booze... it is only 8% after all, and that seems about right.
This is an interesting one, and I'm glad I grabbed it (for many reasons!)
