Pungent bourbon aroma. extremely rocky tan head that sits on top of a dark cloudy brown body. Flavor is rich and full of bourbon, along with a sweetness typical of Regenboog. A noticable acidic ting at the end. Very warming and delictable.

Bottle. Pours hazy dark brown with a large, frothy, off-white head, mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, toasted), light hops (flowers), average yeast (dough, earth) with notes of wood, toffee, and cognac. Full bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.

33cl, new exclusive brew 2008, from the brewery, complex brew, balanced, yet heavy, cloudy, rocky head, very good brew, but too expensive
