Apr 26, 2009 Bottled at Monks Cafe Wallingatan.
Apperance: Very dark brownish with a huge dark brown head. Looks very smooth.
Aroma: Cream, Hint of bourbon, Roasted malt and Coffee. Nose is not very impressive.
Taste: Smooth and creamy but without that sweetness i had expected from the bourbon-barrel-aging. Nice touch of chocolate and some bitterness at the end.
Palate: Very complex but quite rewarding.
This beer was very hard to rate for me as it was totally different from what i expected. A good beer but there are
better barrel-aged stouts out there.

Pours black with a small brown head.
It has a thick sweet aroma like cream, some bourbon and rosted malt.
Tastes of chocolate, cream and vanilla. Could have passed as a milk/sweet stout, very smooth.

Apr 17, 2009 Handbottle thanks to xnoxhatex for this rarity. Pours a brown black with a thin beige head. Nose is similar to black albert, but more. Roasted chocolate malts, with red fruit and belgian yeast. Roasted chocolate flavors, fruit, bourbon, and a drying sweetness. The barrel’s presence is light , but it works. Light carbonation with a dry woody finish. Good beer.

Apr 11, 2009 handbottle with a big thanks to xnoxhatex for busting this one out or to andrew for grabbing these from his stash!... dark almost black pour with a soapy light tan head...aroma of black albert at its core, strong belgiany stout with sweet vanilla and bourbon scents. licorice too...belgian yeast and chocolate with a bitter finish. somewhat warm but booziness eventually fades. roasty in the finish. lighty carbonated. enjoyed just slightly more than the black albert i’ve had in the states.
