Caroni S.B.S The Beast #3

Disappointing for a Caroni, but for those who like to lick fresh tar, it might be okay. Update: I've now tried it again with a little distance. There's something about it, somehow it reminds me of my younger years when I was 14 and took two puffs of a menthol cigarette before I got caught. I just had a taste like that in the finish. It's a very cool piece in any case. The smell is really great, but you can't say the same about the taste.

Great incredible but at the end very hot and question how much drinkable

Giving this one a couple of goes over a view weeks, there is no denying: this is just not very good. While I do enjoy the nose, the rest is simply mean and makes for an interesting experience but nothing more.

This is the worst of the 3 releases. Kind of like smelling, locking and drinking a chemical factory. Maybe they brewed this at BASF 😂

Do you know this too? Tank empty, it takes until a helpful Thai lady with freshly brushed teeth comes by and asks, do you want to suck on my hose? Exactly, not a nice experience.

This is times full on the face! Bitterness, gasoline, varnish, wood. Phew, it is extreme in any case. But to drink maybe then rather not...

Caroni is clearly recognizable on the nose - but rather with heavy varnish and rubber associations. A balancing fruit component is unfortunately completely missing. Much Taninne and too long drawn black tea. On the palate, the rum unfortunately drifts into less enjoyable directions. A lot of black tea, licorice, bitter notes and slight acidity - virtually the opposite of an "easy sipper". The strong bitter note remains in the finish and I do not like unfortunately at all.Reminds of the DNA something of the 36th Release of Velier. Interesting to have had this experiment times in the glass, but with "pleasure" it has nothing to do... 🤓

Sehr interessant, weil ich sowas noch nie getrunken habe, viele Aromen die ich im Rum noch nie gefunden habe, es ist jedoch absolut nicht mein Geschmack. Nachtrag: Foto hinzugefügt.

The nose I found actually still quite interesting, the taste has me then but unfortunately no fun. Clearly overlaid and thus much too bitter and also somehow one-dimensional.

Irgendwie ganz anders als ich ihn mir vorgestellt habe. Gummi und Teer sind zwar da, kommen aber für mich erst weit hinter einer dominanten Menthol, Holz (vieeel & bitteres) und Tannin Note. Benzin, Lösungsmittel, Lack und medizinisches ist auch da. Lanritze und eine ganz leichte Süße sind an der Nase weit im Hintergrund doch da. Die Nase ist eigentlich nicht schlecht – eine Mischung aus Caroni und einem Monymusk Menthol-Holz-Monster in meiner ersten Assoziation. Am Gaumen wirds dann noch mal eine gute Runde eindimensionaler und anstrengender 😂 Mein Fazit: Ganz nette Nase, anstrengender und unangenehmer Gaumen aber dann wieder ein bitteres Holzwasser Finish mit Menthol … so nach ein paar Minuten eigentlich ganz angenehm. Nase 7,5-8 / Gaumen 4-5 / Finish 6-7 … schön probiert zu haben. Danke an Dom fürs Sample!

Was the nose still relatively Caroni-like with minimal berry aroma is the palate for me hardly enjoyable! Bitter, medicinal, woody, sour and old tobacco!In the finish appears after some time, in addition to the just mentioned flavors still some dried fruit!No, , this is definitely not something I like to drink

The Beast #3 ist noch mal deutlich schlechter. Am Gaumen einfach nur penetrant bitter. Im Abgang dann etwas Menthol und nochmal seifiger. Nimm alles weg, was The Beast#1 noch interessant macht und du hast die dritte Abfüllung

An der Nase fast positiv überrascht. Klar erkennbare Caroni Marker mit Gummi, Plastik, Trockenfrüchten. Am Gaumen: brrrrr, was ist das? Altöl in Menthol? Eigentlich nicht genießbar (im Abgang bilde ich mir Litschi ein?)Aber mal ehrlich, wer die anderen S.B.S Biester kennt, der weiß, dass hier kein Gaumenschmeichler kommt. Und es ist in gewisser Weise auch mutig, sowas abzufüllen. Als Sample auf jeden Fall spannend (eine Flasche davon allerdings nie und nimmer 😉)

Extreme splitter! Wood and Mentol in pure form!

On the nose a great fruit note of pear and peach, mixed with dirty Caroni notes in the form of rubber and tar. In addition, perceptible wood influence of storage. With some time the fruit notes become more restrained, instead tea and varnish push themselves into the foreground. Nose 81/100On the palate then the disappointment. Almost unpleasant with an extreme intensity somewhere between soap and peppermint/menthol. In addition, quite intensely sour and somewhat woody. So this is where the beast got its name. Unfortunately not in a positive sense. Palate 42/100Conclusion: great intense nose, otherwise disappointing on the palate.
