Feb 7, 2009 This was recommended to me because of my love of stouts. It looked great to the pour, although not much of a head. Sweet tones with coffee and alcohol permeate. From start to finish overpowered by a licorice and alcohol. small hints of coffee and chocolate are completely overpowered by the pungent licorice flavor. dissapointed from start to finish. If you love licorice maybe a different experience.

Feb 7, 2009 330 mL. Pours pitch black with a dark brown small head. Aromas of whiskey, vodka, oak, dark chocolate, vanilla, cocoa. Taste upfront is super creamy like a chocolate milkshake and then turns very alcoholic like the aftertaste from a shot of vodka. Alcohol is extremely prominent in this beer- lots of warming. Velvety, oily mouthfeel. Overall very creamy and roasty but very alcoholic and overpowering.

Feb 7, 2009 Updated: Mar 11, 2009Flaske. Årgang 2008 Kulsort øl med et minimalt skum. Kraftig sødlig duft af bourbon og marcipan. Ekstem sød, og meget bourbon præget i smagen, men på en yderst delikat måde. Virkelig en fantastisk velkomplimenterende fadlagring. En treat udover de sædvanlige og lige i skabet. En tand sød, så man skal have en sød tand.

Feb 7, 2009 Black. Flat. Very sweet. Alcohol is unpleasantly prominent. All the flavors associated with impy stouts are present and accounted for, but buried by booze and sugar. Wouldn’t want to drink it again.

Feb 3, 2009 Updated: Apr 28, 2009Bottle (35 cl) from Systembolaget. Black with a smal fizzy brown head. Strong whiskey aroma with milk chocolate, alcohol, and some tar. Medium bodied with quite smooth carbonation. Well balanced, but too alcoholic and too much whiskey.

Feb 2, 2009 Updated: Sep 10, 2009Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil in Brooklyn. S*** m*****f*****s this s*** is f***ing good. If stupid annoyances like my job and reality didn’t get in the way, I would probably sit by the fire every night in my robe drinking this beer, smoking a fine Cuban, and watching the great comedic masterpieces of legendary actor Adam Sandler.
In reality, at least I can drink this excellent stout every now and then. Pours black with a small brown head. Incredible aroma of coffee, chocolate, smoke, vanilla, and sweet malt. Flavor is malty with molasses, coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, and of course a strong bourbon finish. Thick and oily as hell. One of the best there is, plain and simple.

Feb 2, 2009 Bottle, Rainhall Drinks, Barnoldswick. Probably the strongest beer I’ve tasted thus far; opened for the superbowl. Looked almost like tar as it poured....black like the steelers helmets., with a fading tan head. Aroma was bourbon, glace cherry, booze. Big vanilla notes in the flavour which is complex and inextricably permeated by a heavy woody bourbon presence. Thick and creamy mouthfeel. Roasted malts and some dark fruit try to jostle for position in there. Warming, and a great late night sipper to linger over.
Quality stuff.
