Bottled. An unclear brown beer with a lazing thin brown head. The aroma has notes strong notes of malt, chocolate, tobacco, raisins, and some fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, tobacco, wood, and roasted malt, leading to a dry woody and chocolaty finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Degarth. Bottle # 103/229. Pours a hazy reddish brown with a vague tint of red and a creamy beige head. Amazing bourbon aroma. Solid body with a smooth mouthfeel, lots of sweet roasted malts, licorice all-sorts and wood. Amazing bourbon notes and lots of warming alcohol in the finish. A real treat. 231109
