Flarra hos reza med öl gubben Peter. Här har vi rätt hårt rostad malt sen kommer choklad 80% ig och rött tydlig bourbon ligger därbakom. God fyllig . Lite väl hårt rostad malt för få topp betyg.

At a tasting, many many thanks, Smallish head, lots of roastiness, exquisite black chocolate, intense espresso, medium pleasant roasty sourness, a bit of charred notes, mellow but intense sweetness. An excellent yummy beer.

Fles gedeeld door Benzai, geprobeerd met LiekevdV en Keukeman. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een medium bruine schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van gebrande mout en tequila. De smaak is vol, moutig, warm, gebrand en tequila.

Bottle. Thx Cunningham for this beauty. A black one, topped by a finger-thick tan head. Some lacing. The aroma has some boozy hints, bourbon and woody hints, with aromas of licorice, alcohol, roasted malts, bonfire and notes of toast, dark dried fruit and a dash of oat biscuits. It's full-bodied, lightly warming and with a touch of sourness. Roasted malts, licorice, bonfire, charcoal, some toast and dark dried fruit. Bread, biscuit and a touch of bourbon and wood. Some chocolate and coffee grit. Ever-lasting finish. A delicious one indeed, sure a beer I'd like to revisit. A true classic. 221102
