12 oz bottle courtesy of cgarvieuk. Thanks again, Craig.. all the way from across the pond! A stand up man, and a good time on the Thursday before DLD! Pours a pitchblack pour, opaque, light carnbonation leads to a small light brownish head that laces minimally, is small and dies to a film. Aromas are a nice chocolatey base, roasted malts, peaty smoke in full demand, almost a little meaty, with a nice dose of boozy whiskey, smoothed over with vanilla and wet wood. A touch salty and full, this beer starts with a full body that certainly coats the mouth if anything, lighter booziness than anticipated, this thick beer is chocolate, roasted malts, peat, vanilla, and a faint coffee. Light whiskey and wet wood, the alcohol warmth grows on the back of the palate. This beer isn’t a "Smack you in the face beer", insteading opting full body and smooth flavors, a nice display of peaty smoke, wet wood, a touch of meat and a decent booziness that grows. This is a very nice beer.. a bit understated, I really liked it. Cheers.

Dec 26, 2009 Bottle from Systembolaget. Very dark brown colour and brownish head. Whisky, alchohol, dark roasty maltiyness in the aroma and taste. Full bodied. Very enjoyable although I like beer as beer and whisky as whisky.

pours brown, thin off-white head.
aroma and flavor, barrel is mild, hints of ashy wood, vanilla and whiskey. Roasted malts, with some chocolate, caramel, finish keeps a nice warming whiskey mouthfeel coupled with a finish that keeps what makes many of these Paradox serie a hit or miss; the char/ash like aspect. In this case, it was moderate and blended quite well with the barrel. Mouthfeel was a little thin.

Dec 23, 2009 A deep dark stout with almost no head, again, on the lifeless, undercarbonated side. A pleasant classy bitter chocolate aroma with notes of tobacco leaves, coal, peated scotch notes, quite nice and subdued. In mouth, a good smooth IS with bitter chocolate, peated malts, very smooth. Sustained burned grains. Howverm everything is very smooth and pleasant with this beer. Bieropholie import, BB 08-08-10.

Dec 23, 2009 Bottle: Pours a dark black color with no head. The nose is bright with chocolate and ripe grapes, lots of smoke and more chocolate and coffee. The whiskey notes are subtle but smooth, not too sharp. Rich meaty flavor. Nice finish. Yum.
