Bukwus

Purchased from Tavour. Date on can of 11/03/2026. Based on their website only the second time this has been made. Pours opaque. Deep brown color. Finger of beautiful mocha, frothy foam covers. Wish it would of stayed longer. Aroma is chocolate, char - almost burnt or a cigarette ash, light brown sugar. Subtle hint of bourbon. Sweet. Taste is metallic, almost tart up front. Oddly it lingers deep in the mouth, so does the other parts of the flavor. Char, burnt with roast and some chocolate. Cigarette ash. The initial metallic and tartness isn't as strong each sip but there. The finish builds the char/ash/burnt aspect. Big body with ample carbonation. Typically big stouts that are barrel aged cut the carbonation. I can't get past two things: that initial taste with the metalic tartness and the overwhelming notes of char/burnt/ash. Just not a pleasant experience on the mouth. The pour of the beer with the beautiful head is the highlight. I wouldn't have this beer again. Enjoy! Note: a better beer as it warms. Suggest letting it sit for 30 minutes before starting the experience.
