Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is black, Aroma and taste are sweet roast malt, chocolate and licorice. Biotter sugary finish.

Pours black with an edge of brown or ruby where the light gets in. Moderate light brown head, some retention. Stunning aroma of vanilla, raisins, plums, dark berries, burnt sugar, wood, and Christmas pudding. I could quite happily sit here and smell this for days. Very sweet flavour that quite represents the aroma but with the suggestion of chocolate and port. Mouthfeel is ridiculously smooth with low carbonation. Absolutely wonderful. I need more of this, and I need it now.

Pours an opaque black with beige head. Aroma is burnt fruit, vanilla. Port/wine like. Sweet, strong vanilla. Thick body. Too sweet to drink alot of but a fine sipping beer.

Pours lovely dark with quickly disappearing foam. Very intense vanilla flavours and sweet - maybe too sweet - taste. It lacks hops. Nice and exciting stout. I enjoy these barrel matured stouts.

Bottle, 10% at ÅBF08. Batch 007. Very distinct vanilla aroma. Almost black colour, very small ligt brown head. The flavour has a nice, powerful vanilla aroma and aftertaste. Underneath it seems to be a quite malty, slightly sweet and rather alcoholic beer with some barley bitterness.

Black oily pour with a slow-to-rise thin brown cap. Rich aromas of peaty scotch, bitter chocolate, vanilla. Oily silky palate, burnt malt with scotch-kissed dark chocolate and a hint of anise. Sweet and heavy, an oaky feel to it, with a pleasing bitter finish. Outstanding, and certainly the best beer I’ve tasted to utilize the whiskey-and-beer marriage concept, perfectly balanced in my opinion.

you can taste the barrel aging which gives unusual taste notes and aroma. Pure black color. no head and not much carbonation. You can feel the Alcohol on tongue, and a little in taste. Dark Chocolate and burnt malty flavour. light body.
