Our decadent Oatmeal Stout lovingly aged in Bourbon barrels. Beautiful chocolate, espresso and vanilla-bourbon aromas hold your nose hostage. Rich dark chocolate truffle, bourbon and espresso create a dangerously smooth and incredibly drinkable barrel aged Oatmeal Stout. Hoarding tendencies may occur.

Darkish brown, just a thin head. Smells like it might be a bit tart. On the palate, lots of deep fruits and rich dark sugars. Good body. Nice stuff!

355 ml bottle in cardboard box, vintage 2017, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 8.5%. Black colour, large tan head. Aroma of roast malts, chocolate, bourbon, vanilla and oak. Smooth flavour with the same elements, not too sweet, moderate hops. A very enjoyable beer.

Flaska från SB, vintage 2017. Brunsvart med tät och krämig khaki-färgad krona som lämnar gardiner längs sidorna. Doftar en salig blandning av svarta vinbär, friskt fruktiga toner, torkad frukt, läder, kola, bourbon, kokos och kaffesump. Lätt till mellanstor kropp med kraftig fatkaraktär. Smak och kropp rejält tämjd utav fatlagring med ek, massor av tanniner, torr och sträv beska, askkopp, gammal kaffesump, kola, kandisocker och rökta plommon. Choklad och bourbon i eftersmaken. Gott och som vanligt en mästerlig fatlagring från FW, men kanske blir lite väl åtstramad för den här storleken på stout. Blir kanske lite väl rått efter ett tag.

Bottle at home. Vintage 2017. The colour is dark brown to black with a creamy, beige head. Aroma of chocolate, soy sauce, bourbon, nougat and vanilla. A little careful. Flavour of dark chocolate, roasted malt, ash, bourbon and coffee beans. Has a soft mouth feel, full-bodied and a light bitterness. Velvet describes this beer perfectly and has a nice roasted flavour with a smooth touch of chocolate.
