(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of Myrup. Clear, warm dark brown with a reddish hue and a creamy, beige head that leaves some lacing. Sweetish vanilla aroma with a whiff of oak. Medium-bodied with sweetish, hard roasted malt plus very pleasant notes of vanilla, oak and bourbon. A little low in carbonation. Very soft, smooth and rounded with a subdued bitternes. Yum. 291107

Paradox parallel tasting
Black color, nice head, but not persistent; I expected a bottle conditioned beer, but this one is filtered. The aroma is very nice, delicate, of Bourbon vanilla and some caramel. The mouthfeel is quite smooth, almost creamy, at all not thick as an American Imperial Stout, lean I would say; there is a quite strong dark chocolate flavor, well corrected by the strong Bourbon vanilla; balanced all the way to the final, when the roastiness heads up, and with a minimum alcohol perception (maybe more alcohol than the others, also because of the less sweetness). Very good.
