bottle: pours a very dark black with a smll tan head. aroam is a great roast and rch chcolate, slight vanilla not much of the bourbon or barrell but a wonderful aroam. flavour is a great roast espresso, dark chocoalte, smooth creamy palate, some a\of the vanilla. great beer.

Pours from the bomber a watery, nearly opaque black with brown edges with absolutely zero head. Looks like a flat glass of cola. Mild aroma of vanilla, molasses, oak, whiskey, coffee and dark brown sugar. Flavor has plenty of toasted, roasted malts, nuts, molasses, caramel, butterscotch, and coffee. Thick and buttery on the palate, with a delicious, nutty, roasted finish. Very drinkable despite the high alcohol. Smoother and more easily consumed than one would imagine.

Tashi’s house, 28/05/08. Bottle I brought back from City Beer in San Francisco. Pours an opaque extremely dark brown and looks superb. The complex aroma assaults your nose, hitting you with hints of musty old wood and musky sweat. The taste is all about the interaction of the dark bitter chocolate and coffee flavours with the wood notes. A great beer, one to sip and savour.

Thanks xnoxhatex! Pours creamy black with a thin brown head. Intriguing aroma of vanilla, cocoa powder and coal, lesser notes of raisins. Flavor follows suit with huge amounts of wood/barrel. Tons of bittersweet cocoa powder, some vanilla, cookie and a long finishing bitterness. A lot going on here but definitely not mind blowing or extremely coherent.

Vintage 2000, drank 12/2007. I can’t thank Marc enough for sharing this amazing beer. Malty, smoke, whiskey notes, herbal aroma. Has a very smooth body. Sweet malts, some nice cocoa, molasses, lightly herbal. Such a mellow and smooth beer. Beautifully complex yet blended together magically. Long and bitter alcohol finish. This is a beer for the ages. I don’t know if it’s possible to beat this brew.

Bottle at home Huge thanks to the Cheesman. Opened today since hes the DD. Deep solid black ... roast malts and a hint of spirit that must be the bourbon ... good mouth feel ... rich Malts ... cocoa and bitter coffee... lacking a bit in its finnish ... bourbon shows too much for me over time.

Bottle @ Kolding Bryglaug Americans tasting.

Pours pitch-black with a medium, creamy, beige-brown head. Aroma is roasted, vinious, bourbon, vanilla and wonderful sweet maltiness. Super creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is vinious, dry cocoa-powder, coffee, lightly roasted malts, bourbon, slight smoke and vanilla. Truly magnificent! Gimme more!
