Himmergiet. Bottle. Fucken huge thanks to Djd07 and his connections! Oily black beer, no head. Smooth palate, modest fine carbonation. Soft rich dark malts, smooth dark chocolate, smooth dark malt cream. Touch of Port Wine red berries. Smooth as a baby's arse bourbon barrel. Smooth vanilla. Wonderfully smooth fruity bourbon. Mild vanilla. Smooth finish. If there was a little more carbonation, this would be right up there for me.

(Bottle sample @ Himmeriget, Copenhagen, Dec 16/17) Pours a deep oil black with no head at all. Aroma is hefty and rich, with notes of fudge, dark chocolate, soft burnt roast, vanilla, peppery whiskey, a little dark plummy fruit. Flavour is rich, smooth and rather sweet, with mouth-filling fudge, dark toffee, molasses, chocolate, stewed fruit, barrel bringing notes of vanilla, smooth but slightly spicy whiskey, slightly burnt wood but the roast is rather limited. Finish is semi-sweet and blends dark fruit with toffee and the barrel, lightly toasted. Basically no alcohol. Full bodied, viscous and nearly flat. I thought this was beautiful as a sipper, more than a small pour might become cloying. As it was, lovely integration of barrel and a banging adjunct-free stout.

16.12.2017, 0,75l bottle sampled @ Himmeriget:
Small brown shortlasting head, thick black pour. Aroma is slightly dry sour-ish boozy, oak, minerals, dark malts, booze, raisins, bark, hay, bourbon, sour dark fruits, butterscotch, dark sugar, fruit stones. Taste is rich and sweet velvety, dark sugar, raisins, dark malts, minerals, oak, sweet bourbon, butterscotch, even more dark sugar, dates, vanilla. Medium bitterness, sweet syrupy mouthfeel. Nice, but it's like drinking diabetes. And some years in the cellar would probably be better...

Keg at Ratebeer Best Beer Festival. 31/01/2016. An oily caramel brown coloured pour with a small tan head. Aroma is nice toasted coconut, vanilla oak, tart grapey vinous fruits. Flavour is composed of smooth toasted malts, black cherry, grapey fruits, chocolate and black forest gateau. Palate is oily, soft moderate carbonation. Nice.
