18/I/13 - 75cl bottle @ De Hopduvel - BB: n/a - #449/532 (2013-26) Thanks to Bobochamp for sharing the bottle!

Clear dark red brown beer, no head. Aroma: quite some chocolate, vanilla, lots of caramel, alcohol, sugary, hint of wood, bit earthy. MF: soft yet very fine prickling carbon (did they add CO2?), full body. Taste: caramel, citrus, vanilla, very sugary, bit spicy, chillies (possibly the alcohol I taste?), chocolate. Aftertaste: more caramel, vanilla, boozy, dark chocolate, alcohol warming the throat, bitter touch, leather and tobacco, cocoa powder, sugary but not as bad as in the main taste. Once again: chillies? Still the alcohol possibly?

Bottle (#309 of 534, 2012 vintage) thanks to jackl, consumed at THE stouts tasting - part 1. It pours very dark brown with a small dark tan head. The nose is chocolate, caramel, sticky chocolate cake, light spice, vanilla, lactose, brown sugar and some cognac. The taste is rich-roasted malt, chocolate gateaux, caramel, vanilla, alcohol warmth, toast, some dark fruit, ginger cake, wood and cognac with a smooth, sweet finish. Full body, fine carbonation and sticky mouth-feel. Too sweet. I prefer the bourbon version. Really glad to have the chance to try this though.

Bomber received in trade. Thank you Pandableh! Pours oily viscous black with a small dark chocolate head that quickly dissipates without leaving any trace on the glass. Smell is sweet, salty and malty with roasted malts, molasses, sweet liquorice candy, kecap manis, cognac, sweet dark bread, quality dark chocolate, sweetened coffee, brandy, coconut and hints of orange zest. Taste is very sweet and tiny bitter with roasted malts, kecap manis, sweetened coffee, quality dark chocolate, cognac, coconut, charred wood, sweet liquorice candy, raisins, red apples, vanilla fudge, cognac and coconut. Mouthfeel is very viscous, round, smooth, silky, boozy and full bodied. Finish is sweet and tiny bitter with sweet dark bread, molasses, vanilla fudge, brandy, sweetened coffee, bitter chocolate, charred wood and raisins. Better than the original but this is still way too sticky sweet for me to appreciate. Mouthfeel is great though.

Good one to sneak up front for at GTMW. Opaque black body, beige-brown head. Huge fusel sugar sweet boozy aroma. Tastes like malt extract and booze combined. Tolerable, but all around brutal too. A good splitter for ten people. Cognac grape alcohol notes are dominate. Blows my mind that people actively seek this beer out. Tastes like cheap Port wine.
