May 12, 2009 Bottle (75 cl) from Ölbutikken, Copenhagen, Denmark. Shady mahogny with a rich creamy beige head. Rich malty aroma, with dark chocolate, dark fruits, plums, and unfortunately a touch of alcohol. Full bodied with very soft carbonation. Very well balanced, dry with moderate bitterness. Long chocolatey aftertaste. Would have preffered the alcohol to be tuned down a bit.

May 7, 2009 750ml. Pours a clear dark reddish brown with a big three finger tan head that lasts and leaves nice lacing. The nose is toffee, caramel and smoky peat. The taste is caramel, dark fruits, brown sugar, citrus hops and a touch of booze. Medium creamy mouthfeel. I actually prefer the barrel aged version much better, but this awesome as well.
