After brewing B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher successfully for many years, our creative minds wander. We imagine a B.O.R.I.S. brewed with even better dark grain - the finest imported dark grain - for a smoother and mellower deep-roasted flavor. When we finally made our dreams become reality, it was a symphony of beautiful flavors, a higher level of B.O.R.I.S. born from our creativity, that deserves the name B.O.R.I.S. Reserve!

Jet black with a lasting tan head. Roasted aroma dominated by chocolate, along with toffee, molasses, dried fruit, whisky and oak. Intense dark roasted flavour of dark chocolate and coffee, with plenty of complexity to keep it interesting. Dried fruit in abundance, vanilla, wood and whisky.

Solo cup showing black with half a finger of latte colored foam. The nose shows intense notes of mushroom, moss floor, cacao, and dark chocolate. The palate is lightly carbonated and thick with a heavy mouthfeel. Strong baker’s chocolate throughout with a dark chocolate bitterness.

Bottle, 0.66l. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, licorice and chocolate. Pours almost black color with thin quickly diminishing brown head and nice lacing. Taste starts with sweet and rich roasted malt, coffee and chocolate, follows dried fruity, alcoholic, woody and earthy, mouthfeel is warm and mild spicy, while finish is light bitter. Full body, thick texture and soft to average carbonation in palate. Brain cells’ crusher...
