Mint, ginger, quinces, mocha coffee, candied apricots and wild strawberries showing in the nose. Extremely complex taste. Full bodied. Beautiful lacework.

The flavor was of roasted malt and some sweetness. Medium bodied with nice warmth. MitchWayne (264), Kokkola, Finland
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | May 28, 2009 Spicy yeasty roasty and vinous smell, some chocolate there too, quite vinous. The bourbon barrel aging is subtle and makes the beer softer. This is quite a bit better than the normal albert, the roasty fruity taste works so much better with the barrel aging, this was a beer that needed some taming. The hops are very present in the end and that is something I really like. Brilliant beer from struise. Svesse (2657), Hässelby, Sweden
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 26, 2009 (Bottle, Monk’s Cafe, Stockholm) Black colour with firm, creamy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with coffee, liquorice and rather subtle hints of bourbon, oak and vanilla. Roasted, malty taste with notes of coffee, cocoa, dried fruit, raisins, prunes and powerful flavours of bourbon and oak turning into loads of liquorice in a long finish. Full body with intense and not so subtle flavours. Fairly sweet. Excellent and powerful beer. BrianK (190), Livingston, New Jersey, USA
