Draught at Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen
Black color with brownish head, compact. The aroma is dominated by a very nice vanilla, with sweet wood and traces of raspberry, and a hint of cheese. Good body strength, with some residual sweetness, dark caramel flavor, evident influence from red fruits, and a fair degree of acidity; yet, with a touch of vanilla, this manages to be smooth. Overall well balanced.
A very interesting brew, one that makes me happy I tried it.
Last opinion: the aroma is fantastic, the flavor a bit too much fruity.
A great beer.

On tap at CBC, pours an amber-tinged dark brown / near-black with a large tan head. Aroma of prominent red wine notes, some caramel sweetness, and dry bready notes. Flavour brings out very prominent red wine notes atop anything, and some dry dark fruits. Very vinous and dry fruity. The red wine notes don't dominate as much as on the bourbon barrel edition. Complex and elegant. Great stuff.

Fat på CBC 2013. Riktig fin. Smak och doft av humle, malt, ekfat, vanilj och mörkfrukt som russin, plommon och aprikos,. Frisk och syrlig med bourbonkaraktär. Lagom söt med fin beska.
