The Veil. Tossing a stout in every barrel they found on the highway & emptying it into 500Ml bottles. I support this mad scientist approach.
Black. Quick-collapse head that leaves a smooth surface littered with tiny bits of coconut. I always like that. Smells like a booze enema. Apple brandy on top.
Double Barrel Hollow Place: Enhanced goes full pastry without gumming up my sweet receptors for the night. Sonic boom of alcohol scorches the palate, followed by a bum rush of sweetness, apple brandy & bourbon. The barrels overwhelm the additives; I mean, how are truffles supposed to hold up against that onslaught, or vanilla be detected amidst all the sugary goodness? Gentle undergrowth of cognac. Sticky. Very sticky. And despite the ABV & pastry status, I could go another 250ML of this easy.
This brew is ruled by the barrels, to bring them under one rule & bind them. A masterful blending leading to an excellent, borderline elite, brew. Do it again.
