Compared to the previous "Beast" this one is slightly better, but only by margins. I got a good price on this bottle and that convinced me to get it. The nose is woody and smoky with leather, varnish and solvents in almost perfect harmony. The palate is intense, complex and medium bitter with roasted oak, leather varnish and a hint of tobacco and coffee. The finish is long and bitter with roasted oak. Price to quality can be argued, but it is a palate teaser.
Fun thing. I did not have the first Beast. I found the nose extremely cool. It reminds me of plastic toys from the nursery. I also found a lot of Caroni notes. Then in the mouth it's joined by some neat smoke and varnish. And in the finish first, a surprising amount of fruit components. The finish is long. But with time remains the taste of an ashtray filled with menthol cigarettes.
74 points. Decent nose, wood juice on the palate, slightly unpleasant.
Extreme Holz, Bitter und Gewürznoten. Macht zwischendurch spass, ist aber nichts für jeden Tag. Dafür muss man echt bereit sein. Verglichen mit dem #1 Beast, bringt diese Abfüllung mehr Frucht mit und wirkt „runder“.
