UPDATED: MAR 29, 2024 Doughy, venous, roasted aroma. Oily pour. Tart, very winey. Kinda a chore to drink. Growler Country. Twangy finish.

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2024 Draft. Final beer at Tjaps Taphorst 3th of February 2024. It surely was a great festival. Very good BA strong beers at this edition. Color: Black, no head. Aroma: Licorice, roasted malt, Bourbon. Taste: Again licorice in front. Roasted malt, Bourbon, boozy, warming mouthfeel. Bourbon is not overwhelming in this case. Hints of coffee. Dry-ish finish. Full body, low carbonation. Great slow sipper, although personally it's still a bit sharp (young) and the licorice is a bit too much for me.

UPDATED: JAN 20, 2024 2020 Corpo mogano scuro tendente al nero con riflessi amaranto, testa color nocciola a grana regolare dalla buona tenuta e dalla poca cremosità. Profumo di cream brulè, fico, uvetta, amarena, dattero, liquirizia, cioccolato, lieve sensazione acidula, leggere tostature e vaniglia, bourbon. Al palato oltre a tanta frutta scura disidratata ci sono robuste tostature, cenere e tabacco, successivamente cioccolato e liquirizia, sullo sfondo vaniglia e quercia, costante ma lieve nota di bourbon, finale dove l’amaricatura entra in scena muovendosi efficacemente su terreni erbacei e resinosi. Retrogusto liquirizia e cenere, tanto legno con accenno acidulo precedentemente percepito nell’analisi olfattiva. Abv enorme, abbraccia e scalda rigorosamente. Corpo totalmente pieno, goduriosamente massiccio e tondeggiante, carbonazione bassa. Una bestia muscolosa ma elegante.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2024 On tap at The Beer Cellar-Glen Ellyn, IL. as a 5 oz. serving to a small snifter, showing a black/brown hue, with a foamy layer of tan froth to a persistent ring, and spots & strands of lacing. The nose was ultra roast, cocoa, light coffee, dark caramel sweetness, barrel influence, and booze as bourbon. Close to full bodied, the taste was as the aroma notes, with good carbonation, some dark fruit astringency, moderate sweetness, lingering warmth, and roasted & oaky bitterness. A solid BA Stout.

UPDATED: NOV 28, 2023 Draft at Khyber Pass. Black pour. Fizzy khaki head up front. Quickly dissipates. Intense dark malt flavors. Turkish coffee. Charcoal briquettes. Semi-sweet chocolate. Deep black cherry. Leather jacket. Vanilla cigar. Vaguely vinegary. Feels boozy but nowhere near the billed 19.4%. Vegetal finish. Tremendous!

UPDATED: JUN 23, 2023 Burk 2021 18,9% edition på självaste midsommarafton med P.N. Mmmm doftar massor av mörk 70% eller är det 80% choklad o massor av bourbon. Smaken mjuk med choklad först sedan en liten syra o sedan portvin, bourbon o fatlagring. Är inte så söt utan den känns ganska torr. Nä dra mig baklänges vilken jäla öl. Visst det känns att ölen är stark men så god! The Bruery ni kan det här med tunga öl!!

UPDATED: JUN 23, 2023 Burk 2021 edition testas med Peter. Sååå sugen på prova för mig en ny Bruery världens kanske bästa bryggeri enligt folk. Doften Åhhh Som vanliga Tuesday . Bourbon choklad med lite portvin. Jag kör en klunk och choklad sen snabbt därpå känns perfekt balanserad bourbonsmak. Kolsyran finns där som en kräm Smååååå jävla bubblor .Så ska en öl kolsyras. Portvin finns där också i eftersmaken ihop med bourbon chokladen . Kraftig Imp stout .Inget för barn under 8 år.

UPDATED: MAR 29, 2023 One of the best stouts I've tried. Black color. Thin, beige head. Familiar notes of roasted malt, chocolate, dark fruits, and bourbon in the aroma. However, this beer is about balance. Heavy and boozy, but I would never guess the ABV.

UPDATED: NOV 19, 2022 750 bottle foggy medium brown Very nice Carmel and light roast aromas. Plenty of bourbon character. Fairly hot and the ABV is present.

UPDATED: NOV 13, 2022 Van 't vat. Zwart bier met beige schuim. Geur: Hout, alcohol, sinaasappel, Picon, geroosterde mout, gedroogd fruit, dadel. Smaak: alcohol, zoet, geroosterde mout, gedroogd fruit, sinaasappel. Medium koolzuurprikkel. Afdronk: warme alcoholgloed. Een beest van een bier maar door de koolzuurprikkel en fruitigheid makkelijk drinkbaar.
