Jun 1, 2009 750 ml bottle from mcbackus! Thanks Matt. Nose is heavy in chocolate and light with bourbon accents. Black with a big cinnamon tan head. Flavor is bourbon, woodiness, coffee, and light alcohol, the chocolate character seeming to disappear. Finish is light bourbon and a hint of bitterness.

Jun 1, 2009 Big bottle shared at the beer-dinner party with Garrett Oliver. Dense, brownish head over a opaque, dark body. The bourbon oak character is very much present in aroma and flavour. Otherwise, quite well balanced with a fusion of coffee and vanilla chocolate and a welcoming long lasting bitter aftertaste. This was the best one we had at the interesting meeting with the brewmaster (Slotskroen, Hillerød 14.05.2009).

May 31, 2009 Bottle@WSF09. What a finisher! This stuff is perfect technically. Straightforward, clean, well brewed, perfectly balanced Imp. Stout. Even with the high ABV I could easily finish a whole bottle myself and enjoy every sip.
